Bantam eggs in a normal-sized egg turner

[KittyIsQuackers]

Hello! I’m getting bantam eggs day after tomorrow and would like to know if any of you know how to fix an egg turner so it fits bantam eggs. Would I use a piece of a paper towel to fill the bottom? Or would I have to hand-turn the eggs? I would much prefer to use the egg turner because I go into town for the day quite frequently and I would hate to under turn the eggs. I’m hatching Nankin chicken eggs so the hatch rate will already be quite low. Here is a picture of my egg turner, and a picture of the incubator’s type in case that’s useful. Quarter for comparison in one of of the egg-turner holes. The quarter doesn’t go through the hole, but only just barely

I have that same incubator. Maybe a piece of thin foam would work. But I can successfully turn silkie and d’uccle eggs without modifying the turner. I don’t know how small Nankin eggs are but if they’re the size of d’uccle eggs it should be fine.

Thank you! The eggs were a lot bigger than I thought, so they may be able to fit without modification. If I misjudged, I’ll modify it the way you suggested when I get home!

How was your hatch rate? I just got some shipped and I’m curious
