Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

[careeka22]

Just had 100% hatch in the NR360! Lots of cuties. And I even incubated some in my home-made incubator but added them the NR for lockdown. They were a day behind so still waiting on 3 of those. 22 chicks so far.

Hey! That's awesome!

I'm on day 20 now. It looks like none of the initial 6 Ayam Cemani made it. I've got ONE I'm still hoping for in there though. Of the 14 Ameraucana...12 still look great!

Got my fingers crossed lol.

I also have 11 Ayam Cemani eggs in the other incubator...so I've got my fingers crossed on those too lol.

Congrats on a great hatch!

Yes the dome top is the newest version #NU1 I think. There are 4 versions of the other style. I have a version #2, #3, and a #4.

Yep! Left is version 1.0NU. Right is version 3.

Good to know. Here’s my last hatch bout 2 an a half weeks ago

It's time for musical chicks!


All 9 incubator orps hatched (plus one serama who's bunking with some quail for now)
6 lav, 2 black, & one blue orp

I put them under broody hen "Crystal." I didn't have time to take good pics since it's cooler than normal outside.

Crystal's bantam egg hatched this morning. (Turned out to be a serama not a silkie mix like I had thought.) I also moved that serama in with the quail.

Then I brought the 2 pipped orp eggs under Crystal into the incubator. I was afraid Crystal would leave the nest with all the newly added chicks. The last 2 eggs came from my laced pullet, but she was probably fertilized by the lav orp. Likely they'll be black, but there's a small chance of laced.


Incubator Notes on the Nurture Right 360:
The shelf liner I added seemed to have no effect on hatch rate. Every egg that was fertile hatched. But, the eggs did have a shiny wear spot around the middle due to turning.

I removed the chicks very shortly after the last one hatched. This was an active group that enjoyed playing soccer with their unhatched siblings. There were only 9 orps but it was quite a party. I think 22 "normal sized" chicks could work, but truly doubt 22 orps could move in such a small space. My orps tend to be on the gigantic side...... When standing, the chicks are so tall that they had to crawl under the center. You can see my height concerns in this pic.

The 360 view is nice to see and interact with chicks.... BUT the misc. floating chick fluff quickly sticks to the sides, so hard to take pics after a few have hatched & dried. Also camera flash glare from dome shape. My Coolerbator is still the best for photos.

Since the main goal of an incubator is incubating and hatching chicks, I say this is an excellent incubator. Can't beat 100% hatch rate. It's also pretty easy to clean. The lid has all the electronics and gets wiped. The bottom with the water trays and hatching debris can be thoroughly washed in the sink. (Refill water, turn back on, heat it up, and then add more eggs. LOL) It has auto everything and is easy to use. The only thing I had to do was add water - especially at lockdown.
