Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

Great idea about the construction paper cover! I'll try that next time.

My only tip is to put your hand in front of the light when switching eggs. Man, it's bright!!! That light could blind you! LOL

It’s hard to candle when you’re blinded!! I usually just place my free hand over it.

Don't look into the light!

It certainly is, I put the light down on the counter when switching eggs.

Just a quick update on the status of my incubators!

Still doing as they should it seems. The noisy one seems to have quieted down some with some run time, as well...which is to the good.

Hi all any tips on cleaning this incubator after a hatch?

I use diluted bleach water and a handi-wipe/disposable cloth. They're much easier for me to use for wiping out the nooks and crannies. Paper towels work as well but they're not as tough.

I then rinse it with clean water and dry thoroughly.

Be careful not to get water into the electronic parts in the lid. I never flip the top to clean it because there could be condensation built up in it from hatch. I just hold it up with one hand and wipe it with the other to prevent the water from going into it.

Yesterday was day 14!! I candled my Ameraucana and the 6 Ayam Cemani eggs that were in the Ver 1.0NU incubator (calling this 'Incubator 1). Sadly...4 of the AC eggs were definite duds. Maybe a 5th too. There's only 1 I'm truly hopeful for...though I left 2 in. On the 14 Ameraucana eggs...two are...iffy. But 12 are looking REALLY good from what I can see. Here's the two videos (ran out of time on the Ameraucana!).

Please excuse my 14yr old who apparently couldn't hold still lol. Hopefully you'll still be able to see!

I also set the 11 other Ayam Cemani eggs I got Wednesday. 24hrs to settle and they were good to go. I put them in the Ver 3 incubator (calling this 'Incubator 2) that I still have...and I also moved the GoVee over to that incubator. It's consistently 1.5°F low as compared to the Ver 1.0NU, which is only 0.5°F low.

I've tried to raise the humidity in Incubator 1 now that I'm farther along...but it's not really responding as I expected. I keep the tray full...but it burns through the water in a hurry, and never really crests 40% (trying to keep it around there).

Looking forward to lockdown in 4 days!!!...then once hatching is over I'll clean Incubator 1, and swap the Ayam Cemani eggs over to it during candling.

Exciting! Pulling for them. I went into lockdown today. Mine are looking fantastic and I'm still in love with this incubator. I had my cooler-bator I made going too and so I put several of those in the NR360 for lockdown. I have a few others that seemed a day or 2 behind so left them in the cooler to keep turning. Yay for babies!
