Just fired up my NR360 last night for a test run. I’m expecting my first hatching eggs in 2 weeks. I decided to go all in with guns blazing. My first set of hatching eggs will be…drum roll please…French Black Copper Marans from the Greenfire line. Shipped, no less :D Go big or go home I always...

I just printed out the instructions from TSC's website. Here is the link: https://www.tractorsupply.com/static/sites/TSC/downloads/ProdContentPDFs/1292133_Man1.pdf

Thanks for the response! I will be hatching Buckeye eggs (of course!) I like the idea of having the shelf liner in there the whole time, it just seems to make sense. I'm also considering leaving the turner in after reading Cris' experience with it helping keep the eggs in place even with chicks...

Yes, I've used broodies before to hatch eggs for me and noted the approximate time they were off the nest. So if I took 10 min. to candle that would be fine. I was just wondering if people were timing themselves, which really isn't a bad idea in my case. I tend to lose track of time when I'm...

I'm enjoying all your videos! How much time do you allow yourself for candling? I noticed you said "we have 2 minutes left" at one point. I will be picking up my incubator in a day or two and am trying to learn all I can before setting eggs.

Thanks so much, this is very helpful. I already intend to clean thoroughly after hatch and am prepared for the mess mentally. I'm not squeamish really, but I really do hate unsanitary conditions. If you own chickens, you have to stomach some pretty nasty stuff! The incubator will have its own...

I ended up taking the plunge and ordered it. It will be delivered to my local TSC in a few days. I had to really think about it before deciding to go ahead with the purchase. I'm sure it will be more enticing in the spring when I'm not out in the garden yet and I'm not managing 3 flocks of...

OK, thanks for the input. I can handle that "smell". I just can't handle the slightest hint of sulfur. Even if I boil eggs, I have to be careful not to overcook them because I can't stand the smell! :sick I took the plunge and ordered the incubator.

Thank you for your response, I will probably end up getting one and giving it a try. The price is right with my 10% discount so how can I say no?

I've read this entire thread and I have learned so much, and I don't even own an incubator! That said, I DO NOT want to get into incubating eggs. I've been raising chickens for 12 years now. That also said, I will be breeding my Buckeyes and EEs next spring, neither of which is known for...
