Well today was day 21 for me and I have nothing, no peeps, no movement so I guess iam done, with my 1st attempt at hatching(big bust). I am collecting eggs this week to try again with a 50/50 chance of fertilized eggs.

Does any one use the Harris Farm Nature 360 incubator? If so does the temp and humidity easily controlled, thank you for your help. I am thinking of getting another incubator for my March hatching
I have 6 in the incubator with a hatch date of 2/22 and don't know if any are viable. On day 13 tried candleing them and can't see through the shells. I have 6 more eggs coming in on the 27th so I excited to see some new chicks
