How much space needed for hatching eggs

[missfire]

I have a GQF hatcher and in a couple weeks will be hatching my first batch, in the hatching drawers how crowded do you put the eggs next to each other when they are hatching ? Do they need room i.e. space between each egg or just put them in side by side touching?

Thanks

They can touch, i USED to make space, but not anymore

They hatch fine too, how many, and what kind of quail are you hatching?
ETA, You could TRY making a row of the eggs, but keep a row empty in between the 2 rows?

They need some space, I hatch mine in cartons. Seems to work great, and for space they only need enough to where they aren't all packed together. Just enough to hatch out and walk in a little circle really.

I lied at the begining of this thread I meant a couple of days. Got them this evening from UPS they will rest till I leave for work in the morning and I'll put them in about 04:30 am tomorrow. I can't wait.
