Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

[CrisAnderson27]

Gotta keep checking.
Same thing happened to me initially. I had ordered a different bator off Amazon in early March and it got "lost" in shipping. Once I got the refund TSC was out of the NR360. I had to watch the TSC site, but as soon as stock was replenished (and it will be) I was all over it.

I did find the Vrooder. It looks cool and much bigger than those other expensive little plates.

Yep! I'll put a piece of Pyrex or plexiglass in the center to help hold heat. Should be nice.

Has anybody tried contacting mannapro directly to get ahold of a nurture right? I want to get one but as y’all have mentioned, they’re out of stock like everywhere. I did find one on Craigslist in my state, but nowhere near me and nearly $100 over retail price.

I've tried to get ahold of them 4x about damage to my incubayir out of the box. They won't reply to my direct, or customer service emails. Much less phone calls.

Hm. I’m going to try to get ahold of them as well, I’ll report back if I hear anything. I’d really like to get an incubator soon, and this is my first choice. Worst case I may just bite the bullet and get the overpriced one.

It's pretty cool lol. Brooder plate with a hole in it so you can see the chicks. I got them because they hold more birds than the others.

What, no link to share?

That's crazy! I've always heard back from them.

Like I mentioned...it's actually pretty cool lol. Similar price, 2" longer in diameter. I'd actually ordered the Premier 1 version from Hogslat, and instantly regretted it after reading how small they actually were. Saw these, got an email from Hogslat saying they were out of stock until the middle of next month...cancelled that and ordered a these.

They're out of stock too lol, but are a seemingly better product, for slightly less, and were supposed to ship yesterday. Now it's looking like Monday...but we'll see.

I think it was 50 miles we had to drive for our two (two different trips)... then I was at the local TSC (which is probably 7 or 8 miles away) yesterday and I saw one there.

Interesting and new slant for sure.
The window...meh...looks good but not sure how functional.
Might reduce heating area?
Does it have a light under there too?
I just tip mine up to see underneath.
Visibility is definitely an issue with plates/pads.
Like hatching with a broody and you can't see them hatch!!

Like the frame and leg adjusters, would make it easy to tip to look under.

14x14 is great for 30 day olds, but they would outgrow it quickly.
SMH, plates have the same overpopulation 'errors' as the prefab coops.
My 12x24 holds about 15 chicks until they are off heat.
The vrooder would be easy to use multiples next to each other.
Just my thoughts.... yes, I see all the deficits(my training).

I agree with all of the above...and had the same thoughts. I figured there was no way 30 would fit any more than 20 would under a 12x12 rentacoop lol. I'm not sure who's doing these estimates for them!

I think bodyheat and convection to some degree will help with the center. I'm not sure if it's covered with a clear plate, but if not that's an easy fix.

In the end it seems a similar quality/effectiveness unit, as compared to the rest of what's out there. I'd already ordered the Rentacoop anti-roost covers, so we'll see if I can rig those to fit. These Ameraucana loooooove roosting on the brooder sides and will get up on anything else they can lol, at two weeks! My barred rocks were fluffs still. Kinda nuts.
