Bantam egg tray for Nurture Right 360 Incubator

[Carol Thomson]

Do you worry about your bantam eggs being tossed around in the standard egg tray? I am working on an ideal for my small Nankin bantam eggs, so they will turn properly in the Nurture Right 360 Incubator. I will start posting more later. Thank you all for your internet and ideals. Carol

That’s awesome!!! Did you repurpose your dividers or design and 3D print????
@casportpony @Kiki I know lots of people have been interested in this issue

Lol.
I couldn't care less BUT I think @RoosterML and @TheDawg might be interested.


@Carol Thomson What I do care about is how you made it. How neat.

DIY project. I would be so grateful if you told your fellow bantam lovers about my ideal. I hope to find a market for my project. Thank you, Carol

Did you print it?

Ohhh...is see you added a poll but I'm still a little bit confused... Probably because I do not have this incubator. Is this the regular Turner that comes with the incubator that you just made dividers for?

No

Yes made removable divides, so the smaller eggs will turn smoothly in the standard chicken egg slot.

Yes, I did. Thank you, I added the fact that they are removable dividers to my post.

I think that's genius, and like it a lot! I hope you're enjoying BYC!

I would consider getting a patent, and license.. this to Harris Farms.. or whatever the process is to get it included as an option in EVERY bator.. for a royalty fee.. for all future production.. maybe even remove the image NOW..

As a tight wad and semi DIY'er.. I'd be more likely to try and improvise something similar.. as will MANY others, I'm sure.

As an avid over thinker.. having something already made fit and known functional.. would be worth.. maybe $10 dollars- ish.

Maybe NR360, should devise a way to make them all adjustable in the same manner that the Janoal 12 turner tray slots are!

If 3D printing.. I would remove all the extra space and ad in more rows for tuning.. I'm almost surprised NR360 does't offer it.. BUT, it isn't needed.. because the eggs ALWAYS turn in the same direction.. being pushed from one side only.. Sorry the over thinker in me says this will be a product for folks who can't think it through AS well as the designers of the NR360.. already have!!

I get that it *might* keep the egg from continuing to roll forward farther than it *should*.. but with the bator being on level foundation, and eggs naturally hatching under hens that don't roll them perfectly EVERY time.. so.. the MAIN benefit to me would be MORE rows for MORE bantam eggs! And that is something I can fully recommend, lol!

It was a good incubator in general.. I no longer have it.. nor do I have any "friends" to tell about your great idea..

But, thank you so kindly for sharing your adventures in learning and chickens with us and welcome to the community!
