Woke up to peeping and a pip! This morning is the start to day 20, so right on time! Hoping for pips from the other 7 eggs soon!

you'll get 50/50....unless you have partridge in their bloodlines....

So exciting!

So calibration is backwards if I remember correctly. I have to double check it every time I change it because it confuses me. So since my incubator runs hot, mine shows + 1.5 degrees.

Check Tractor Supply for an NR360. That's where I got all of mine, they ship too if your local store is out of stock. I do like my IncuView but what your experiencing is something I go through at the beginning of every hatch in there, plus getting the humidity just right is harder for me in the IncuView. My NR360s are SO user friendly. You won't know what to do with such an easy incubator. You could incubate in there and hatch in the IncuView that's what I've started to do unless I want to get really clear pictures, then I leave them to hatch in the NR360. It's not hard to clean really...it's just that the IncuView is so easy to clean that it ruined me. lol

EDIT: I do have my room temp set accurately so that would make sense that you had to set it at a higher room temp in order to calibrate it in the opposite direction.

Omg you’re totally right. I was calibrating in the wrong direction.

How much are the NR360?

Hey that's great though!! That means we solved the issue! I find it super confusing that it's that way and I secondary guess myself every time I adjust it.

Just set my first batch of eggs! Got a backyard mix of seven eggs going. The rooster is an ameraucana, mixed with 3 leghorn, 1 barred rock, 1 cream legbar, 1 red sex link, and one speckled sussex! Hoping for some good dual breeds to integrate the pulets and freezer the cockerels. Time to sit on my hands!

I want to say I paid about $130 for them after taxes and I used my 10% off coupon that Tractor Supply sends if you're in the neighbors club.

One I bought used for $80, I have 3 NR360s now. Lol

Best way to go! I do that with my hatch. Love dual purpose!

I'm going to check it out. How many eggs can you do in it?

What would I do without you! Haha
