I don't know, I want to have one with a bigger capacity, :/ can u get the Eco with an automatic cradle, so u don't have to turn them? And I'm still confused, how to u change the temperature on the Eco?

I'm afreid I've kind of gotten behind on here....

I set 10 turkey eggs in my incubator on the 2nd and 10 d'Uccle eggs and 18 sexlink eggs on the 9th. I candled the turkey eggs and 9 of 10 are showing development.

What is a d'Uccle egg ?

Yes, you can buy the cradle separately.

Please note: your incubator may not be set to the correct temperature from the factory and the following procedure must be followed before setting eggs.
3.7 As the incubator warms up and approaches its control setting the red heater indicator LED will change from continuously on to flashing. Allow the incubator to stabilise for at least an hour before adjusting the temperature.
3.8 Rotate the red adjustment spindle located in the cable connector housing with a small screwdriver – clockwise to increase temperature, anticlockwise to reduce it. 2°F (1°C) is about ¼ turn of the spindle. Refer to the thermometer to check temperature. Adjust temperature with care – small differences have large effects on hatching performance.
When reducing temperature the red LED may go out while the incubator cools – this is normal.

d'Uccles are a breed of bantam (see my avatar).

This is the next type that we are hatching (after this batch). They are so cute!

Ok thanks I might just get the octagon 40 Eco I've been using the octagon 20 advance to hatch geese eggs, I have had to do nothing , apart from cooling them and spraying them every day for 15 minutes but apart from that, I've had to do nothing!!

Ok I've never heard of them!! Is the name D'Uccle short for something?

Uccle was the town in Belgium where the breed originated. D'uccle means "of Uccle"
