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.

No, general rule is the eggs hatch 14 days. Bomb the first time and then again in 14 exact days. This was from a pest exterminator and it worked. I did it over the summer and have not had a problem since.

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.

Be patient.....sometimes it takes longer....keep in warm place (garage) and there is nothing you are doing wrong. Should hatch soon..about 150-200. Good luck!Dr Shafran

No but I bought a cheap thrrmo/humidity-meter and stuck it in with my panther eggs. I either fill the bottom tray with water or leave a cup of water in witht he eggs. It is possible to achieve 99% humidity and maybe more my thermo only goes to 99 but you have to keep up on it once a week to keep it there.

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

I actually put water to just below the cups. And that seems to do the trick. I agree the directions are a bit vague, but honestly I think as long as you have water in there your fine. Make sure it has started to boil before putting the tray in with the eggs. Took me a while to get the perfect egg, but I had never made them before so it was a bit of a learning curve, but now they come out perfect. Hope this helps.

Yes, but you have to lean really big eggs a little bit. If they are straight up and down they will be touching the lid and will crack when you close he wings.

temperature gauges may vary slightly, the gauge on unit is usually correct, just make sure temp stays above 98 degrees and eggs should be okay, never had unsuccessful hatch, good luck

yes . a soon as you inserting small eggs into the carrier then dont worry, the eggs 100% protecting from all moving and bouncing.

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.

first, only use 3 eggs. Do not overfill. Turn it on, close lid and wait for it to finish. simple.

I usually do 7 eggs at a time and it takes about 5 min. or less. they are done perfectly.

I scramble the eggs all the time. Just make sure the pan or griddle is hot and set the rings on the pan to heat up a bit before pouring in the eggs. Let the eggs get pretty well set up before removing the rings and flip carefully with a spatula. I made 18 eggs over the weekend for breakfast sandwiches for the freezer using an electric griddle and 8 egg rings. Had maybe 3 leak badly. Don't use too high of heat, I keep my griddle at about 225-250° F.

Because the babies are so small, if you just leave the egg in the garden you won't really know if/when they arrive. I found a Y shaped twig and lodged the egg in between the V shape of the twig. Then I placed it in a mesh bag and hung it in a tree. I don't know how warm it is in DE right now but the babies will not arrive until it is clearly spring. It took more than a month for ours to hatch and we live in AZ, it was in the high 80s when they arrived. Don't get discouraged, they will come!
