Mine never would. My understanding is that a lot of people use the tilted wire flooring so the eggs would roll to the front making egg collecting easier because they like to lay anywhere and everywhere
If you take the dividers out you can fit more eggs in. Fill in any empty space with cotton or foam like you have done to keep the eggs from rolling around as they are turned. Word of caution, though. The arm that connects the motor on the turner to the support piece that turns is not strong enough to withstand the weight of an overfilled incubator, so hand turning the incubator is highly recommended.No room for 16 Slate Blue turkey eggs (20 of the Midget Whites fit easily).
One Slate egg will have to go in the Hovabator for a couple days, then the other Brinsea will be available.
The good news is, a leftover piece of quail egg tray (after I cut one down to fit a Brinsea), fits perfectly in the remaining space. So I can get 15 Slate turkey eggs and 10 quail eggs in one Brinsea.
I have an old quail cage that sits on a frame at a tilt so the eggs roll out the egg hole and into a egg tray that runs the length of the 12' cage. I do not have quail but this cage was given to me to use for rabbits.
