Do JUMBO quail eggs fit quail rails?Quail egg size and trays for your incuabtor.

[@anitaculp683]

I say for the majority of us, you are my hero for braving the cold to bring us this wonderful video!! Central California 67• in the shade. 😆

[@MyshireFarm]

17 before windchill hahahahaha

[@graftedbranchhomestead]

I've been noticing the size difference in my eggs the last few days. Perfect video for now, and thank you for freezing to help me 😀

[@MyshireFarm]

Thanks for watching

When I ordered my Jumbo Whitewing eggs, I was using Lil Red incubator, 1/3 of trays were for chicken & rest for quail. I had exactly the issue you showed,Some were just big to even sit in quail rack, regardless of touching. Those I sat in the chicken tray. Doing that worked well.

[@MyshireFarm]

That’s great to know. Thanks

[@VeysPlace]

Zack, another thing that can be done, if people want to take the time to do it. Leave a standard egg rack in the center, when they switch out to put the quail rails in. Then they only use the largest jumbo eggs in the chicken egg rail.

[@MyshireFarm]

Absolutely. Good thought

[@johnnybgood3279]

Thanks for answering my question from the live q&a a couple weeks ago about if the jumbo eggs would fit on a little giant quail tray. Looks like I could most likely fit close to 90 to 100 jumbo eggs in the quail rails of a little giant. Going to be buying or building an incubator very soon then ordering jumbo wild eggs from you this spring.

[@MyshireFarm]

No problem. Sorry it took so long

[@misscarmen8611]

You are amazing. Thank you for all you do. It’s cold here in Florida too . Have some new chicken soup and get warm

[@MyshireFarm]

Thanks for watching!

[@adarshasepu]

HI jack there is a small adjustment that can be done to GQF quatl rail to make them a little taller so that it fits the sizes in between jumbos and normals .with the help of screws on the 4 corners

[@MyshireFarm]

We have tried it but it made the trays weak for us but it is possible that we did it wrong.

[@travishanson2884]

Great video, thanks for the info on the little giant egg turner fitting in the Hova-bator.

[@MyshireFarm]

Glad it helps

[@katrinakrakow5961]

For the Hovabater egg turner, the problem isn't only that they sometimes don't fit in the holes; the larger issue is when they turn, they are too close to the next rail, which cracks the larger eggs. I found I can put larger eggs around the outside of the turner (on two sides) without them cracking because they don't have another rail next to them. Next time I plan to remove every other rail and incubate that way.

[@MyshireFarm]

That is good to know. Thanks for sharing

[@chrispaolello9740]

Great video!!!!

[@MyshireFarm]

Hah! You're the best. Thank you!

Thanks

[@smckee9063]

Good info, I have a Little Giant and quail rails, with a mix of quail I do get eggs that are too large and I have to put a space between them and the next egg but I don't do big hatches. The largest hatch so far was only 38 eggs. I also don't put eggs under the center heater with it being so close to the top of the eggs I just don't like it there (personal choice).

[@MyshireFarm]

That makes since.

[@tullyriverquail]

I'm sure Poppa TB could mod the GFQ pheasant tray spacer posts to add 1/4" that would allow those to be double stacked.

[@MyshireFarm]

We actually did modify them and it works well just can’t put as many in

[@ellensedge1898]

nice touch, just debating whether to buy the quail tray for my 360, I will skip it for now as we are transitioning from standard to Jumbo.

[@MyshireFarm]

Good luck

[@tullyriverquail]

Is there a hatch rate difference in the swinging rack, swinging tray, and egg roller turning system. Building a mini-gigantor and like the space saving feature of the Hatchpro 220 egg roller vs swinging (oscillating tilt) the entire rack system. They also allow for a lockdown screen frame lid once the roller bars are "plucked" (removed)... see what I did there? But I would rather sacrifice inside incubator space vs hatch rate if rollers are a poor choice. Opinions?

[@MyshireFarm]

I have not noticed a difference in hatch rates due to that. Good question

[@ronwatkins7196]

I did enjoy this video, not because I have problem with incubator trays, but because you showed the difference between standard size eggs and Jumbo size eggs. I sell my eggs by the dozen and I use 1 dozen plastic egg carton. My Jumbo eggs will not fit in the standard egg carton. If you try to close the lid you will crush the Jumbo eggs. Do you know from whom I can purchase the 1 dozen plastic egg cartons for my Jumbo eggs?

[@MyshireFarm]

I don’t I am sorry. I have 24 and 30 ct cartons and most eggs will fit not not the dozen cartons. I am sorry. But thanks so much for watching

[@PracticingLiberty]

For use as video props you could first hard boil the eggs. That way they would be easier to handle.

[@MyshireFarm]

That is a good idea

[@jydog57]

If one was to make trays for jumbos laid over, would one get by with 1 1/4" by 1 3/4" slots or go with 1 1/2" by 2" , or what?

[@MyshireFarm]

I am not too sure. I would have to run some tests

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

When quail first start laying are the eggs considerably smaller. Than mature layers?

[@MyshireFarm]

Yes for the first week or 2

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

@@MyshireFarm thanks

[@pabloteran7082]

I just subscribed to your channel and i came to check your videos and the first video that i am watching you are saying that your quail are 5 weeks old and they are laying already mines were hatched at the end of August still no eggs

[@MyshireFarm]

Make sure they are getting 14-16 hours of light a day, they are on a high calcium layer feed, can get away from elements, they feel safe, they are not overcrowded (we recommend 3 quail per sq ft) and a good male to female ratio. (We recommend 5 hens to 1 male)

[@pabloteran7082]

@@MyshireFarm i have them outside on a wire cage big enough for only 16 quails the cage is 6 ft x 24 wide and a box attached to the cage where they can get away from the elements, the interesting thing is that not even the males are mating the hens, i am thinking move them inside and supply extra light and see what happens

[@smilingdog54]

Will the jumbos fit ok in the regular chicken turner

[@MyshireFarm]

You might have to modify a little

[@marshallscotts]

For my NR360 I bought an aftermarket quail egg rack. Its well made but it turns out that some of the larger Jumbo eggs I tried would not fit. I ended up doubling in the original chicken tray. I do think the after market tray is good. Just not for Jumbo.

[@MyshireFarm]

Good info. Thanks for letting me know.

[@feistygirl75]

From where do you get your little baskets?

[@MyshireFarm]

Tractor supply

[@hassansalloum-lp5sx]

Hello how we can buy the jumbo quail eggs (the biggest jumbo quail) from your farm and import it to lebanon, what is the price and do you mean this eggs is for texas jumbo quail or another quail pls reply i am interested

[@MyshireFarm]

Unfortunately we are unable to export at this time but are working on it

[@matthewhancock3285]

what size boxes do you guys ship the eggs in

[@MyshireFarm]

[@illkabongg]

They don't fit in the Brinsea quail rails anymore. Honestly it's a bit of a bummer that I can't incubate the full number. It means I have to order smaller quantities from you as well.

[@MyshireFarm]

Do they offer pheasant trays?

[@illkabongg]

@@MyshireFarm they have many different size trays but they cut the total capacity by a lot. I ordered 110 jumbos and was only able to fit 70 in the larger egg trays so I ran out and got a hovabator to fit the rest. I'm sure I will get less overall birds because the hovabator hatch rate is going to be very low. So next time I have to only order 70 from you. This is why I don't know who benefits from the larger eggs.

[@ThirdLawPair]

None of my quail eggs ever fit in the slots that are supposed to be for quail eggs.

[@MyshireFarm]

That’s a good problem to have

[@ThirdLawPair]

@@MyshireFarm not when I'm focused on producing chicks and my incubator keeps breaking the eggs.

[@MyshireFarm]

Well no that is a problem.

[@shannonking5721]

quails are so loud!

[@MyshireFarm]

When you have a lot they can be for sure
