What kind of incubator do you have? You can buy the quail sized yellow cup holder bars for a Hovabator turner at Atwoods. If you hatch in a Sportsman, you can buy the holders that are the size of a 30 chicken egg flat carton - but sized for quail eggs - on several poultry sites. Unless you plan to hatch a ton of them however, you only need one since one will hold about 60+ quail eggs.
You can also lay the quail eggs flat in a incubator and roll your hand across them left to right one time and then right to left the next time - you can turn a lot of them at the same time that way. Like any egg, you just need to rock them from side to side so the yolk doesn't stick to the shell, but you don't want to roll them in the same direction each time because you don't want to twist the white cord that goes from the yolk to the membrane inside of the shell and provides blood to the chick while in the shell.
