Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

[SheaLoner]

I got my NR360 at the end of last season. After following this thread and others, and knowing my plans for this year, it's capacity and ease of use and price had me convinced.
Fast forward like six months and I am finally collecting some eggs to incubate! Some time this week I will be filling the NR360 with heritage NHs and red sex links from my breeding projects. This will be my first incubation with these birds and the plan has been cookin a long time!
Thanks everyone who contributed info and experience to this thread. Looking forward to doing the same over the next few weeks.

Let me know how your NHs come along. Ive been working towards reproducing them as well. Just keep loosing my roosters.

For sure. I have been documenting my project with them here https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/my-attempt-at-a-dual-purpose-heritage-flock.1489689/

Hi there! I have a question about this incubator that I recently purchased. If the humidity gets too high when I fill water chamber A, should I only fill half of the chamber? Or any suggestions on how to keep humidity at 45%?

You should be able to fill A all the way and open the vent all the way to reach about 45% humidity. You can also remove the plug in B for a lot more air flow. If it's still high then you may have overfilled it and it's overflowing into B.

Thanks, I will try that!

Keep in mind that the ambient humidity plays a part.

That should have said a "little" more air flow. My phone autocorrects "little" to "lot" often. Lol! It couldn't be a more frustrating autocorrect.

All set up and ready if I have to move Unhatched eggs from my broody! Some of the thermometers I put in say 101, 100, and 98 degrees. Do you think it’ll be ok?
(One chicks already hatched)

Why were you pulling eggs from a broody again?

She said "if"

In case it's a staggered hatch, and she abandons the other eggs
