Hi, I use this for Sulcata tortoise eggs which should not be turned so I am not familiar with the egg turner. I would suggest reading reviews on Amazon. Good Luck.

I would use a mixture of vermiculite and pete moss (about 2/3 to 1/3 ratio), thoroughly mixed and moistened, but wring out the excess water, and partially bury the clutch of eggs in the mixture, leaving the tops of the eggs exposed to the air. Do not let the bedding dry out, remoisten if necessary. Also put the water in the bottom of the incubator according to the Reptibator instructions. To keep your Reptibator clean, put the bedding and eggs in an open tupperware container, in the incubator...no lid. This should work great.

I would suggest that you add it for next time. You need to adjust and keep track of the temperature before adding your eggs to the incubator for at least 24 hours. In other words, you will have to keep a close eye on the temperature to maintain the eggs at the most constant temperature for hatching. Adding the fan will help but you need to make sure the temperature isn't too out of range.

I think these specific ones are for consumption. They do have "One Dozen Turnbull Farms Coturnix Quail Hatching Eggs" for sale too. You should click on their name and it should show you the other options for eggs.

Ramon, In theory, yes. The incubator comes with a '?' setting for birds not preprogrammed in the unit. What this basically means is that you set the number of days for the incubation period. The second issue is size. If the eggs are smaller than a goose egg, then you should be able to fit two in the incubator. I hope this helps.Regards, Pacific Star Corp.

The egg turner racks for quail that fit this hold 120 quail eggs. I suppose that many eggs you would definitely want to invest in the automatic turner....

with bird eggs you must rotate the eggs. There's a bundle on amazon that an automatic egg turner comes with it. best thing ever.

Wafer and not very reliable. But you can still get over 50% hatch rate. Just preset it 2 days before

I use jumbo, and extra large eggs, and it works just fine. Just remember to kind of hold on to the egg with your other hand...flying soft boiled eggs can be dangerous..

I do. that's exactly why I bought it.if you get one small egg in your batch you may get 61 in there, but you can get 60 every time. I've been getting 50 to 55 hatch out every time. remember to keep adding water about every 3 days and the eco will do the rest...

I use store bought and they are very easy to pierce. You shouldn't have any trouble with homegrown eggs.

That's all you have to have. An egg turning thing can save you some effort - but is not necessary. You can turn them by hand.

You can use it to hatch, just take it off the turner cradle. If you haven't already purchased this item, be aware that evidently the United States warranty is only 6 months, no matter what they tell you at time of purchase. My incubator lasted almost a year before having problems, so I don't know if they would back even the 6 months, what I do know is that you can't get parts for it to fix. This is a disposable incubator, when it works its great, when the sensor fails,( for me after about 8 hatches) no one will sell you a replacement. And suddenly the 2 year warranty from registering it on the internet has been changed to 6 months because you live in the United States. You can use it to hatch, just take it off the turner cradle.

Melanie...I can't locate just now, the 4-egg one that I bought in order to retrieve the model number. I DO, however, have a link for Progressive International that you can use to download a PDF file on the use/care of the 2-egg version that I bought as well. It is as follows: http://progressiveintl.com/pdf/gmmc71_eggpoacher_uc_english.pdfYou can also access their product website at: http://progressiveintl.com/

I hatched both duck and chicken eggs in mine and yes it works with just a few eggs. However, my incubator stopped working around June 2014. I bought it around October 2013 so until I can get it replaced or fixed I have to advise against purchasing the product.
