QUAIL EGG FLATS OR SHIPPING CARTONS, OR USE THE EGG TRAYS FROM A TURNER, JUST REMOVE THE TO YOUR HATCHER AND SET THEM DIRECTLY IN SIDE FLAT SO THE EGGS ARE UPRIGHT.

I TOO USE A SEPERATE BATOR AS A HATCHER.

FOR FOLKS WHO USE ONLY 1 BATOR AND AN AUTOTURNER YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO REMOVE THE TURNER, JUST TIME IT TO WHEN THE EGGS ARE UPRIGHT AND UNPLUG THE TURNER.

Is there any reason they can not lay in the hatcher? The first batch I had I layed directly into the hatcher and they did well.

I use a GQF sportsman. eggs are layed flat , get about 90% hatch rate. So its ok if forced air incubator. Even ok in still air if you keep them at the same level. Think about it they lay flat in nature, only reason to incubate small end down its easier to turn with auto turner.

My best hatch are with roll-x and turn-x and these eggs are layed flat the full time. Heck I even lay my peafowl eggs on their side in my gqf increased my hatch rate.

Most all hatchery even lay all eggs flat in the hatchers.

I wanted to say Thank you to all of you who have responded to my many posts on this forum. I added sponges to the hatcher and now have four new babies, all doing well with no wry neck or straddle legs! (knock on styrofoam). I appreciate the willingness of everyone to assist.
 
RE: FEMINE NAPKINS===Hey They Work Great... Disposable So If It Remains Clean It Can Be Dried Out And Reused Later Or If Soiled ToSs It And Get A New 1 Out Of The Box.... Disposeable Diapers Work Good Too

Femine Napkins Work Well For Blocking The Fan On Forced Air Bators--- Sometimes The Fan Blowing Will Dry Out The Lil Fellas Before They Hatch And Then They Get Shrink Wrapped By The Membranes And Die--- A Wet Fem Nap Over The Fan Slows And Difuses The Air Flow And Buys Jr More Time If This Is The Case...
