Just for future reference, if I wanted to use my 120 slot quail rails (Little Giant) for James Marie eggs? About how many would logistically fit in them? Just planning for the future now that I know this could be an issue.

Most people I know that raise coturnix breed for big birds and big eggs. What you got from James Marie are some of the best eggs around. They have developed some of largest birds around and save you years of breeding to get to where you will be by hatching their eggs. I hatch in a roll-x and use every other slot in the quail egg rack. It is shocking to see the size of their eggs but very pleasing to see the size of the birds you get. Best of luck with your hatch!
I'm not sure how much the little giant differs from my Genesis Hova Bator, but it holds 120 quail eggs and if the eggs were small enough it would easily fit all 120 eggs. The trick is just getting normal/standard coturnix quail and not jumbo quail. My problem was that of the 100 eggs, some were huge and some were normal sized (as you can see from the photo). 30-50 were the right size for the racks and 50-70 were too big for the quail racks. I simply removed half of the racks and incubated the smallest 60 eggs.Just for future reference, if I wanted to use my 120 slot quail rails (Little Giant) for James Marie eggs?
