Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

The Nurture Right worked perfectly and i have chicks hatching on day 1

I have 6 that didn't hatch, going to move to my diy for another day or so. Is there a way I can mark the eggs so I know which are the older eggs?

You can use a pencil or sharpie to put an X or something on them

I would. You could candle them for any movement, or open 1 up (carefully) but 5 days past is a pretty long time since they were all set at the same time. Let me know what your final count is

I candled. 2 were probably infertile, 3 a dark blob on one side that didnt move. Opened all dark one, it had quit developing days before due. So all out to compost pile. Of 15 eggs 8 live chicks, 1 really big chick hatched and died at hatch, and 6 duds

Not to shabby!

The Nurture right did MUCH better than my DIY incubator. DIY is down for count unless i devise a much better heating system or the nurture right breaks

I'm looking to get Govees and need some thoughts and experience.

Does anyone use these Govees in their NR360?

I like the idea of having a display style at a glance over the mini pods and wondering if anyone have these they use in the NR360?

The display specs say 2.5" w x 3.1" tall.

Or would the mini pods be a better choice for space concerns? I like the display style better for use around the house and not having to look at my phone constantly to check.

Any and all comments welcome and appreciated as last year I just used a calibrated analog meat thermometer with a hair tie wrapped around the stem to set it just above egg height thru the front vent.
My incubator temp reading is way off, so I feel I need to get more precise. 106.5 reading = 99.5F
