Can you use it to hatch a dozen or less?

Not sure. We have put a dozen to 15 2xs but only got 6 the 1st time and 5 the 2nd time

I have done silkie eggs in there. You can change the amount it turns so it doesn't turn the small eggs too much

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!

Not during a single egg operation. Maybe if you were battling 12 breakfast sammiches

i think you can put 3 or 4 goose eggs but without the automatic turning disc you have to turn them your self so i would suggest getting the mini eco if you want it for goose eggs only or go to octagon 20 you can hatch 9 goose eggs in it i have seen it in youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2feBlYw7wM link to the video

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.

I'm not sure, I think so. Mine is packed away with my school stuff for April so I can't look at the instruction book. We did hatch quail eggs in last spring after hatching chicks. It takes about 7 chicken eggs, so maybe 5-6 duck eggs, just a guess.

I used what it came with, I think 1000....if you can get a smaller amount....and keep the factory at optimum conditions, they will multiply very quickly. Mine have had 4 hatchings in about 9 months. I will be getting another factory at end of this growing season......any other quest.....bluesman99026@msn.com....bless you, Tom

Make sure it's in a warm enough location. I think a more humid condition helps as well. Now that you asked the question, it will probably hatch. :) Good luck!

yes for a like baby hatchling, even then maybe not. it's not great for lizards that need heating because the temperature gradient wouldn't be the best for him/her. a ten gallon though could be really good for one though. (: this is great for hatchling crested geckos and many species of tree frogs. invertebraes too!

Yes you can hatch in the house, however there were so many and you need to have enough insects in the yard to feed tham. We hatched ours to early and most died because they had nothing to eat,

I use mine for two whites and one yolk. Sometimes I use it for two eggs . . . it works but it is a little tight when using larger eggs.

The directions for use are very simple. Hang the egg cases under a leaf or other overhanging structure in your garden. However caveat emptor - the egg cases I purchased never hatched. Disappointing since the ladybird beetles and nematodes I also bought worked great. Never saw an aphid or grub during the entire growing season.

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.

8 would be pushing its limits if you're including perches and toys. 6 would be alright but I wouldn't put 8 in there, personally.

well I also have 20 eggs in mine right now and we have almost the same readings and I have found that most temp gauges will read a little diff every time. Just don't let it get below 98.5 at tray and you should be ok as I have hatched twice now and it worked for me. Good luck and I hope this helped

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.
