Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

Well, the good news is that the post office found my eggs. They didn't call me, however....so if I hadn't called them again, they probably would have held them until tomorrow. I drove down there and picked them up. I got there right as they were closing the doors.... Grrr.... I think the guy locking the door could tell that I was going to go ape if he didn't let me in. The eggs were packaged REALLY well, but the materials feel cold so clearly the carrier left them in his car overnight. Hopefully it won't have a negative impact on viability. I think it got down to 20 degrees last night. Maybe a little colder with the windchill.

The other good news is that AS sent me a full 22 eggs to make up for their mistake. I only ordered 12 so now I'm going to have a LOT of Silkies, if they all hatch. ha ha.... DH suggested I should probably sell some chicks if all 22 hatch. I doubt I'll get that lucky...but fingers are crossed!

Now.....where is that bottle of wine I had? It's been a heck of a day.....

I completed my first hatch using my NR 360 I got for Christmas. This was also my first go with shipped eggs. I ordered 22 eggs from Foxfire Farms and they arrived from Idaho to Indiana just fine! I hatched out 14 eggs, 7 crested cream Legbars and 7 Silverudd’s Blues! I am thrilled!!!!

haven’t worked in 3 days bc of snow and got bored usually don’t hatch this early but the two I cracked for breakfast were fertile so why not.

Chicks started hatching overnight. It's my first hatch with the NR 360. I love this thing. So much better than my old, cheapo incubator. Out of 20 eggs set, I've had 5 hatch, overnight, and 14 if the remaining 15 pip, or start to zip. I'm really liking the big, clear window to watch. My old incubator was a foggy plastic and you could barely see pips.

Just finished my first hatch in the NR 360. I set 20 eggs and the 20th just hatched. My first 100% hatch rate. All before the end of day 21. All hatched on their own within 8 hours of pipping. It might be a lucky first run, but I love everything about this incubator. It was constant hatching today.

How are they looking? I'm sure you've had a few hatch. I'm super excited to hear the dropped egg pipped. I know you were worried about that one.

5 babies are out this morning. Three are still pipping. Two haven't started yet.

Here's the little fella from the cracked egg. I really wasn't sure if he was going to make it out. He started pipping right near a hunk of beeswax. He pipped through and then progress stalled so I wasn't sure. Then all of a sudden, he was out!

I officially entered the infamous I Hatch Too Many Eggs To Keep Track Of Them All Club. We took a last minute trip out of state. One final ski day for my husband and kids. I topped off the incubator with extra water based on how long we'd be gone but that was it. Turner will going and everything.

I remembered when we arrived at our destination, 6 hours away, one of the eggs was 5 days ahead in incubation!!! And this incubator seems to hatch most on day 20. There was nothing to be done at that point.

This is what I came home to. A VERY dry perfectly healthy chick in 4° humidity. Egg shell parts were completely destroyed in the tuner. The chicks seems no worse for the wear. I'm guessing it hatched yesterday. So a full 24 hours with the turner going. Thinking of naming him/her Flo-Jo. After the olympic gold medalist hurdler.

This could have ended badly but this little one has had a strong will from the beginning. When I bought these hatching eggs the seller included some that had already been under a hen for an unspecified amount of time. This was one of those "bonus" eggs.

Got these 7 out and in the brooder. 5 more hatched but still in incubator with a couple pipped I think I’ll wait till I get home from work before I get them out

I have an incubator addiction, you guys. Look at the rotation over the years.

Well today is day 22. 12 of the 13 hatched. Looks like the last one was a very late quitter. Candled last night and everything looks developed as normal but no movement. Kinda sucks but thats how it goes. Anyway. Since everyone loves little fluff butts here are a couple pics

So far, another amazing hatch from my NR360. Woke up with 2 chicks and a ton of pips on the 21st morning.
