Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

Has anyone used these before in a wood stove heated house? I've had great luck with my small Brinsea, but need to upsize this year and can't afford the larger Brinsea units at this point.
I do. But I have it upstairs where the chimney runs through an open room. The area stays fairly stable. You need a spot thats stable in temp, no major swings a closet maybe or the furthest from the wood stove with suplemental heat.

I was tempted to but mine in an unheated back room with an radiant heater on a thernostat.
 
It's hard to say from images what it is. I've had scrambled eggs from shipment that had this look but since you collected them yourself it's maybe just a large chalaza? You can crack it into a bowl to see.
Ok thanks. not that I expect anything but figured I would leave them in there till day 8-10 and then crack some. I have 3 that I put in a few days later so those are on day 4 today. so those will be day 5-7 if I empty it out at the same time.
 
think most butt feathers are trimmed around the vent. Itzy has a bit of poo still stuck but it is too close to the skin to cut it off. I have been trying to use a damp/wet towel to soften it a bit here and there. I don't want to try to bring him in the house to soak (I have dogs and cats) and then leave him in my only bathroom to dry/blow dry him till he is dry so hoping this works). If need be I will bring him in.

will check some eggs next week and see if this helped the fertility issue or if maybe he is just infertile? I won't be able to put any new eggs in for about 4 weeks... Unless I crack one over the weekend and it is obviously fertile then maybe I could put a couple in but they would end up about 2-3 weeks younger than the chicks I am getting next week so think that may be hard to combine them?

How old is he?
 
@CluckNDoodle and anyone else. I started timing feathers Tue afternoon. I had no intention of checking eggs till maybe this weekend but Ditzy's had a crack today, thinking maybe someone stepped on it. So figured why not check and scramble it up for them so I added another egg in too.

Does it still look unfertilized? The other egg I see no bullseye at all and haven't noticed Itzy mating with her, but I probably just don't see it, but her butt fluff wasn't trimmed, she is a Brahma.

First 2 are Ditzy. 2nd 2 are Rosies
