Quail egg turning tips? Tricks?

[Urbanhomestead_ut]

I ordered some eggs online and they arrived today. The seller sent me so many extras that they won't fit in the turner for my nuture right 360. It looks like I may have to turn them by hand. Does anyone have tips or tricks for turning quail eggs? How often should I be turning them?
I'd hate to throw some out but I just don't think I can make it work with the automatic turner.

I try to turn 3x at least.

If you can, candle first. Throw out any with wandering airsacks. That should give you a better number to incubate

What is considered a wandering egg sac?

Is that the incubator where you can fit two eggs in some spots?

If any are a whole lot smaller than average I'd consider not incubating those, too.

Wandering airsack I assume means saddled or off to the the side instead of the fat end.

You can put a book under one side of your incubator and move it from side to side 4 times a day. That works best if none of the eggs are turning otherwise, though.

The water pan is shallow, and if the water goes over the lip, it will go into the motor in the center. The book method is good, but you’ll need to put the water in a small but taller glass so the tilting doesn’t spill the water, then either be very careful, or remove the cup before you adjust the tilt and replace it after.

How many total eggs did you receive?

When the airsac is detached and moves to whatever end is up

Sorry, I'm not sure why I didn't see responses. I ended up receiving 60 eggs and candeled them before putting them in. I removed any with cracks or wandering air sacs and ended up with 48 total. I put them in and started turning them by hand for the first 3 days and then candeled again and removed any that looked to be not fertilized and went down to 40. I recieve a quail egg turner made for my incubator in the mail yesterday and added it.
Today my power went out for a few hours so I rushed my incubators (I have 2 running now) to my work and plugged them in, so hopefully they still make it.
