What to do??? With more eggs than space in bator???? What do you do???

I had extra Cortunix quail eggs (I ordered 40 and the seller sent 72) Already had hen eggs set, so the extra quail, I set out along the edges of the incubator.. on the wire. I roll them by hand.

i had that same problem with a hovabator last spring, somebody told me to take out the turner and set the incubator up with a small rock under one end. just switch the rock to the other side twice a day. saves time.

I thought about something like that. I like the egg turner though. I've done the whole hand turning thing before and like the turner for saving bator openings.

But if you tilt the whole bator you still don't need to open it.

Oh my, those old english are nice! I love game birds. I have a flock of rosecombs that forrage around my yard and fly up in the trees and everyone that sees them comments on how neat they are. Yours are gorgeous!!

Thanks, I got them and the Spangles at the bantam show last weekend. I am so excited about eggs from them!

Your Rosecombs are beautiful. I tried local eggs once from a show breeder here in town. But they didn't hatch. They did make it to the hatcher though. I was disappointed. But there's always the future.
