Can I use this to hatch my jumbo coturnix quail egg?

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...

It depends on the size of the egg. If they are not much smaller than chicken egg size then you would not need a smaller tray but if they are the size of quail eggs then I would suggest getting the smaller tray.

yes you can. You'll have to remove the yolk and have a camera on the top with that threaded bolt

I would recommend an incubator that has a self turner. It was very difficult to turn the eggs the way the needed to be turned due to circumstances and schedules. I would not purchase this one again as it is also very hard to maintain temperature and humidity.

They will accomodate a large egg., i tried jumbo eggs, but they did not fit.

Yes it will, BUT you really need a fan kit as well. My still-Air experiences left me, even with auto turner, with less than 50% hatch rate. The fan kit increased that to an average of 75%+. My Still-Air Experiences were not favorable, but with the auto-turner & fan kit, it was much better, For Best results, bit the bullet and get a GOOD incubater like Little Giant 9300 Deluxe Egg Incubator Combo Kit This incubator pushes hatch rates up to about 85% or better! Worth the extra money!!!

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.

I use mine for quail eggs, on 17th day I put them in a still air incubator at around 69 percent humidity while they hatch but while their in the farm innovator from one to seventeen days I keep them at 99.5 degrees and 55 to 70 percent humidity.....hope this helps

From the instructions I read, it seems you can incubate any type of egg as long as it fits in the tray. If the eggs are very tiny then you would want to buy the separate smaller rotating tray. The temperature and incubation period on this incubator can be customized for different bird species. Good luck with your hatch!

you need to buy another incubator,because i have try to hatch eggs 4 different times and no luck with this junk. cost was to high at first. you need to buy you a hover incubator,they are the best. i had three baby chicks born today. the chicks were born at 21 day exact.

Yes. Just hard to get in. Have to take motor off then turn racks to get in & then reassemble. Let me know if you need more help. But I did find racks that came holes are small enough to hold quail eggs so check before you ordered. I wasted my money

Not that I know of...the cage is sold as a flight cage which is necessary in breeding canary sized or smaller birds - they need to develop their muscles in order to breed/lay eggs... and the flight cage gives them the space necessary to develop physically. However the way the cage is put together could allow you to 'do it yourself' and work it into sections you would need something like galvanized sheet metal (available from someone who installs air conditioning ducts) as just chicken wire fencing would allow the birds in the top section to defecate on the birds in the lower section --- so a solid panel would be your best bet. I would also consider bending up the edges of the metal separator so as to not allow waste to slip of the sides of the cage. I suggest you look on Craigslist to find a used cage instead that would meet your needs.

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.

I think that would be possible as long as the outside temperatures were warm. The instructions also stated that the egg cases could be hatched indoors in an enclosed container, and then the new hatchlings could be released outdoors. I may try that next year.

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

yes, you could fit an egg inside, maybe not a jumbo egg, but a small to average sized one for sure.

I think so. The instructions include information on using the model for parrots. The largest size egg it can take is a duck egg that's slightly larger than a chicken, but if I recall correctly, a conure egg would be significantly smaller.
