Hi All

[Stravager]

Welcome to BYC! How was your experience with the NR360? I think there's some threads kicking around of people asking about the use, so if you have the time and want to contribute the more info the better for folks trying to make decisions about which incubator to purchase.

It was very good. I think for the money on sale $150. it's a good value. I got a 83% hatch.
But I dont care for the over all quality of it, as I find it to be very cheaply made.
I have a Brinsea Ovation ex 28 that I had planed to return. Have the return label on the box. I then found a post on the calibration menu(all 3 buttons held down for a few seconds). I messed around with it and got the Temp/RH dead nuts, 4 matched Govee's read with in .1*f of each other. I find I very much like the Quality/build of the Brinsea. The non backlit display I can now live with. It's also mostly made in England.
I'm going to run an 8 egg hatch. If 7 out of 8 hatch, I'll keep it.
The NR360 has lots of cold/hot spots, but it turns 2 inches every hour and seems to work. I also like that it's 12 volts, and I ran a 4 egg hatch off a car battery(it ran for 25 days). So I may use the Brinsea as my main Incubator an the NR360 as a backUp.

Hello Benny, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

I would rehome one of the boys with full disclosure. See of the remaining guy tones it down. He is still just a cockerel. He MAY tow the line.

I suggest you read this article to try to understand the world from his perspective so that you may be able to alter your behavior and reduce or eliminate his human aggression.

I also have a rooster who hates me. He will be 6 in April and we have gotten along without issue for years now. It was very confrontational for the first couple years though. He's an incredible flock leader so I kept him. I am now watching his look alike son come into himself. I have never had any trouble at all with any of his sons. This one, I'm keeping.

Welcome. I agree with @DobieLover, @Shadrach rooster article is the best. Also this article is good as well: https://www.chickenrunrescue.org/Rooster-Behavior.

Roosters are awesome and just need to go through their "puberty" for you to see how awesome they are.
