Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

Interesting I’ll have to look up that UPS thing that could come in handy. A friend of mine lost power a couple weeks ago in the storms and lost close to 500 eggs in his cabinet incubators.

I haven't personally, no. My friend uses a little generator for the Incubators out at her house in the boonies for when stuff happens that's the only thing I know about a secondary power source.

Thanks; we have a small generator but access to the incubator might be tricky; will definitely make it work though if I need to!

Has anyone run this incubator on a 12v battery?

Interesting.
Not sure who you'd connect it tho.
Might ask the manufacturer.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading that the IncuView is compatible and can be used with a 12v battery and I've been curious about this ever since myself. Lol

Yep, it has an inline transformer to convert 110V to 12V.
Does the 360 have that too?

I don't have a clue. I'm chicken savvy but a complete dunce when it comes to electronics, lol! It certainly looks like the same adapter to me.

Yep!
Says right there, input 100-240V and output 12V.

I have a pretty good size UPS, the battery is replaceable. It was about $32.00 for the set it uses on Amazon, (currently not available -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MZ9Q021/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I have my incubator plugged into the power strip that is connected to the UPS. It also has a very loud alarm. It has run my cable modem and router for about 3 hours. If eggs were at stake, I would do without the internet. I have been thinking of getting more batteries for the UPS and rotating them so that I have more power in the event of an outage. It holds a charge well, you could change the battery once a month and have 3 or 4 charged batteries on hand which would be enough for most outages, except certain TEXAS sized ones!

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

It's here!

I'm slightly disappointed, there is a small defect in the water reservoir. I haven't added water yet. It's heating up. Do you think this will affect the functionality and/or will water leak out?View attachment 2521622

Update:

I fixed the reservoir with epoxy and it functions perfectly. I did message Amazon to let them know it was damaged and to ask for a partial refund. They offered a full refund or a replacement, so I opted for the replacement. They did not require the defective incubator be returned. Now I have 2.
