Eggs to small

[Rozza]

I just got my new batch of quail eggs have hatched some before
This time I have some king/button quail as well as jumbo and didn’t realise how much smaller the normal quail eggs the kings are would it be okay to pack them out in the turner with bubble wrap?
Or something else
Would love a quick reply as want to set tomorrow morning

For an egg turner in an incubator? I’d use paper towels/tissue

 

[Rozza]

Ok thanks will that not create issues with humidity

 

[mdees88]

As long as the paper towels cannot touch the water in the incubator they should not affect the humidity.

 

[Rozza]

Ok guess I’ll do that was a bit worried that the plastic may effect them thanks peops

Are you using quail egg rails? I put my button eggs in without anything and they we

re fine.

So I wasn’t able to organise any and I had normal quail eggs that worked fine in mine I thought they were same size but are smaller and of course the jumbo quail eggs are slightly bigger so there fine
Will have to organise some I guess don’t know if I can for my model as not amazing brand and not very common

Also I am thinking of buying a new incubator with turner if any one has suggestions would like one suitable for button quail and duck eggs possibly buy extra inserts
Preferably at reasonable price as just a hobby and got a pay cut with covid
