Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

[Iluveggers]

I ended up running both of them under warm water in the sink. All the gunk & stick shell came off. Dried them with a towel and put them back in the incubator for a bit. They are happily chirping away and buzzing around! I have to take them out to clean & set my new Silkie eggs in a bit! The seller also gave me 2 Silkie/legbar chicks for nothing, so that’s pretty cool also!

@Auntiejessi3 Here is a pic of my stack with 29. I did put Silkie eggs in the small triangle spaces, but I usually pull the 7 smallest eggs and put them there until I pull clears & quitters.

I hand turn when I wake up, as soon as I get home from work, and before bed. I usually take out any stacked eggs and put them in a carton I keep next to the incubator, make sure all eggs are laying correctly and haven’t got stuck in the turner, hit the auto turn button once to rotate everything on the bottom in case they were stuck at any point, and then restack the top eggs. I keep a post it next to the incubator with an X on one side and a # sign on the other. I have been known to forget which direction they were pointing when I take them out for that 1 minute. I flip the paper over after I switc them to the other side & close the incubator. Hope that helps!

I also have a Kebonnix which is super user-friendly, but there’s absolutely no room to stack any extra eggs anywhere. Now I take my 12 biggest eggs and put them in there, and the rest go in the 360.

Oh great tips! Why didn't I think to take them out and use the turner to rotate the others! I was trying to spin them by hand under/beside the top ones! LOL that was a PAIN! now I know better for next time! You have given me all your amazing ideas for stacking. LOL

I'm curious, how many of these hatched? Inquiring minds want to know

I have a bunch of eggs due at the end of the month!

I ended up getting the thermometer that @aart was talking about, it just arrived today.
Looking pretty great so far.

I stuck it in my NR for a few minutes and it jumped to 99.5 almost immediately and stayed steady. So that's a good sign, haha. I didn't test it in boiling water yet.

That's a TON of eggs!

Make sure you figure out at what temp water boils at your elevation.

This is the batch I just set. Hopefully all of them

I once set 30 eggs (that was some Jenga juggling), and if I remember I ended up with 24 hatching, I had to hand-turn a couple extra eggs the whole time. It was annoying but worth it.
