Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

I believe it’s supposed to turn every hour, but I noticed mine going off more like every hour and 15 minutes.

I think you're correct, I remembered it being every hour but I can't say for sure so I'll look into it when I have a chance. It definitely turns the eggs enough though. lol

Where can i get a replacement turner ring? I want to modify one to accommodate large turkey eggs.

You can contact the manufacturer to see if they will send you one. If you mean the whole base you can sometimes find parts on ebay.

I just set 38 shipped from Florida Bresse eggs (Scarola’s lines) tonight (Wed.). Hoping for 50% success. I weighed them all and marked them as best I could. We’ll see what develops .
I did buy some govees so I’ll try to get those in tomorrow.

My 2 Goovee thermometer/hygrometer have been in a salt calibration for 24 hours. I'm happy with their results. Variation between the 2 units was as high as 4/10ths. That's for both temp and humidity. Still pretty consistent though. These cost around $11 each on Amazon.

I think the only downside is how the out-of-parameter alarm functions. You set your acceptable high and low numbers for temp and humidity. Then the app send you an alarm if you go over/under those. This alarm is very quiet and easy to miss. There's probably a way to fix this but I'm using them "out of box" this hatch. It also seem like you need the app open on your phone and phone active to receive these alarms. Since I bought these to monitor night time issues that isn't helpful. Again I think this can be adjusted I'll just need to dig into it a bit more.

What’s your favorite thermometer to keep inside the incubator as a check for the temp?
I need to buy one, would be nice to know suggestions. Thanks!

I use this to test the bator temp:

do you keep it in the whole time or just at set up? I see it had auto shutoff after one hour.
Was wondering if it’s be good to have one which stays on the whole time...

I mostly use it to test the bator therm for accuracy, and make notes of any variation.
I sometimes stick it in during incubation.
There's a vent on top of my Incuview that makes it easy,
not sure if the Nurture 360 has something similar.

I calibrate cheapo digital thermometers against my meat thermometer that can be easily submerged and recalibrate. I put them in multiple spots in the incubator to verify everything looks ok as long as the average is close to 99.5F. I typically only do this at the beginning of the season in my NR360s to make sure everything is still working after being stored. I take them out afterwards but some people leave them in. In my IncuView I leave them in 100% of the time that the incubator is running.
