Can the Little Giant 6300 egg turner be used in this incubator? Is it easy to add water to with a turner in place?

It is if you position the turner with motor on same side as the reservoir openings. There is plenty of space to pour from a gallon jug.

I don't currently have my incubator with me to give you an exact answer, but from what I remember, with the fan, bottom mesh, and heating element there is about 2.5-3 inches. I have hatched over 30 chickens with this bator and definitely recommend it!

Based on my experience, I think so. I've had great results with this little incubator. I've used it for cockatiel and Hahns macaw eggs with the smaller egg insert. And just recently for a couple of blue and gold macaw eggs without the insert. I usually only have 2 or three eggs at a time and once the first pip mark shows up, I make sure the timer to turn the eggs is off and place a cloth cut to size in the incubator under the eggs. After they hatch, I use it as a brooder until they outgrow it. I recently bought a second one to hold an egg that was still not quite ready to hatch while using the other to hold the baby that had hatched. Based on my experience, I think so.

I believe so. I've never tried it. The measuring cup that comes with it is marked off depending on how many eggs and what kind you want (hard, soft, poached,etc.).

No, but make sure you keep an eye on the water level. Also, make sure the surface you place the incubator won't be disturbed, and any condensation can be wiped up. It works great by the way.

Hi Lonnie, I never tried for medium boiled egga with this machine. But as per the directions given on this machine, depending on the water you use- the eggs are boiled accordingly. :)

Since the egg spaces are not preformed, you can put a variety of egg sizes in it. I've put small guinea eggs to large duck eggs and hatched successfully. Also, the temp and humidity are at your control. I love this incubator

I'm not sure how big guinea eggs are. But if they are much smaller than chicken eggs - I sure wouldn't use the tray that comes with the machine.

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.

Hi Sylvia: Did you fill the water in the provided measuring cup to the second line? That is for Medium I think. You probably could also add a little more water to cook the egg more but check with the manufacturer before doing that. I hope this helps.

You can add water in the bottom and if you need more water, you can put in sponges or paper towels for extra humidity. Hope you have luck with incubator because I didn't.

Yes and add the amount of water indicated on the measuring cup depending in the hard or softness of the egg you want

No, but you will need to turn the eggs manually. We passed on the hygrometer, using the instructions provided with the incubator regarding moisture control; instead we went with the automatic egg turner, which we found to be very helpful. We got a much higher hatch rate with the egg turner. Good luck and happy hatching!

When you remove the egg turner on day 18 put a small towel on the screen. The chick's feet won't be able to go through the towel but humidity will.

yes, I always buy extra large or jumbo eggs and there is plenty of room but I use a little less water because they do sit lower in the water and I don't like water in with eggs, just make sure they don't touch the bottom of the pan.

It does not, you'll have to do it by hand. I do recommend purchasing a turner if u don't have the time to turn the eggs 2 to 3 times a day.

I am sure you can. The slots are adjustable. I did both chicken and Turkey eggs. My chicken eggs were middle sized and small sized. This incubator works great is is easy to use!
