quail rack

[GPN]

in one of my chicken catalogs I can buy one rack for like 2.67 but I can seem to find where to add s &H because it states per chick and I don't need eggs right now so I am gonna call em next week!!

I could send you a rack, each rack holds 20 quail eggs... Maybe for a few pheasant eggs??

ummmm.........that might work you know!! IF they would just lay everyday for 6 days with both of them laying that make a dozen right!! I will start saving thrm eggs and keep ya posted!!

I have a set of 6 quail racks that I do use..

but when I have too many eggs, I just put 2 or 3 eggs in each cup of the regular chicken size racks. they hatch just fine..

i tried that and they seemed to slide to much so!!! My friend will be getting 4 Sunday and 5 pheasants

Done called and he got his bator fired up ready for them Sunday

It doesn't matter if they slide around and not be rock solid in the racks. as long as the do not fall out.. I had a real high % hatch. that is all that matters in the end, right??

My chicken egg racks and quail egg racks won't fit in the turner at the same time. They have a different stroke length, i think. Is this right or am i doing something wrong?

too little info to go on.. are they the same brand of racks? solid yellow plastic ones or the kind with the flexible fingers?

If they are alike in everything but the size of egg hole, they should work..

If the length of the operating arm is the same they should work.

I would say play with your equipment and learn how it works..

I did some checking and found that the arms on the chicken racks are longer than the arms on quail racks ! When i bought the quail racks i was intending to put 3 chicken racks and 3 quail racks on at the same time, but that didn't work !!
