Uhh...My quail trays are too small for the jumbo eggs I just got

The sportsman has multiple shelves/trays right? Are you just worried
it turns enough that the eggs will fall out?

I better go look at a Sportsman (Hiding credit cards)

Yeah that's my worry. The flats slide back a little, but so do the plastic ones for chicken eggs. The eggs shift just a little as it turns but I don't think it's enough to cause harm and they don't look like they will fall out. Mama quail shift their eggs all the time right?

I have a Dickey Incubator and when I hatch quail eggs, I put them in regular egg cartons and put a piece of a cotton ball in the cup to scotch the egg so it will not flop back and forth when the tray turns. It worked great and I have hatched approx 150 quail that way.

Buster - I had that problem too, so I cut up a clean dry sponge and lined up my egg cartons and put the sponges between them and between them and the sides of the incubator to take up the extra room so they would not slide back and forth when the tray turned. It worked good for me.

Great suggestions! Thanks so much! I will give them a try.
