I've posted them before. It just gets lost in the comments somewhere. Lol, I'll find it again.

Have you had any humidity issues with yours?

YOU ARE AMAZING! Thanks so much!

No problem!

No, I haven't had any issues with any of mine but I do keep my incubators in a stable room and we run central air in the house so ambient temp and humidity are fairly stable. Others have mentioned minor annoyances with the humidity but in the end, hatch rates are still usually good. One of my incubators trends towards 50% humidity when I fill side A with water and the other is right at 45% (which is my goal for the first 18 days). I don't worry about it being a little higher or lower, I just monitor the air cell development to make sure everything is progressing properly. I sometimes forget to add a little water before bed and it might drop to 35% overnight but this hasn't caused any issues for me either. If you want to keep it more stable at 45-50% just fill it in the morning and evening and leave the vent wide open. I think a lot of the complaints about humidity are because it's hard to tell just how much water each side holds when you're just looking at the tiny external port. Side A holds 4oz (1/2cup) of water. I suggest taking the tray out of the incubator when you first get it so you can actually watch how it fills up and get a better feel for it.

Have any of you hatched quail in the NR360? If so, how many quail eggs can fit in it?

I did hatch quail in there last summer using the regular turner which has 22 egg slots. I believe there is a quail tray available which holds more but I haven’t used it. If you wanted to hand turn you could hold a lot more.

Ah, ok. Thanks!

Do I care if, after taking out quitters, I only have 13 eggs in the incubator? Do people put rocks or anything in there to help hold heat?

Nah, just distribute the eggs evenly around the circle.

Cool; thank you

I went and purchased one yesterday and returned it today. Good looking machine but it would not hold a stable temp.
