Title: Turkey & Quail Eggs

[COLOR=blue]Can anyone tell me how many quail eggs a 9200 Little Giant Still Air Incubator can hold at one time? Is it recommended that I use small egg cups if I plan on hatching quail eggs in an incubator without an egg turner? Also, how many wild turkey eggs can the same kind of incubator hold at one time?

It can hold 200 quail or 40 turkey eggs without an egg turner. That's maximum but you'll get a better hatch rate if the incubator is not at full capacity so there's better air flow and oxygenation. You only need egg cups if there's an egg turner. Egg turners make things SO much easier for you as far as work. If not using one, you can just lay the eggs naturally on the wire bottom. Quail eggs would naturally incubate on their sides and not in the up/down position of an egg cup. In the egg turner, the egg cups are tilted and move throughout the day.
