Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

I have 11 eggs after tossing broken/cracked ones to put under my broody and in the incubator. Should I give her 6 and put 5 in the incubator? They are 8 shipped eggs and 3 of the broody's eggs (hoping they are fertilized after butt trimming). I just want the highest chance of hatching some.

Anyone ever hatch other eggs besides the recommended ones in this. Pheasant quail??? Just wondering. I am in no spot to do either right know but have always thought about it

I'm assuming they could hatch in this incubator. Never done it, though. You'd have to hand turn them if the turner wasn't the right size, though.

Also, @CluckNDoodle, how do you calibrate the small black thermometers/hygrometers?

Ok OK I just ordered one..... you all can let go of my arm.. so now when it gets here I will give you one guess on what I will just have to do....

Post plenty of pictures, please! Do you have a separate calibrated thermometer and hygrometer? I'm literally sitting in front of chicks that hatched a few days ago from this incubator, lol!

That's totally up to you! I've never put shipped eggs under a broody but I'm sure the challenges would remain the same.

Oh yes, I've hatched quail, turkeys, geese, and peafowl in the NR360s. You can get turner inserts for different sized eggs on Etsy now too.

I calibrate my meat thermometer and check them against that. I label the ones that are slightly off.
