Looking for a Nursery Brooder for Newly Hatched Chicks

[Araucana Nest]

Me? The NR 360?

Sorry, LOL, still learning the thread mechanics. Yes. If possible and not an inconvenience.

Yes, I can do that in just a bit. If you put down that grippy shelf liner (trace the tray on the liner and cut it so it fits) it is really good for helping them learn to walk. I have model 3, here is a pic I already have of mine. It looks short, but it's plenty big for them.

Thank you. That's very helpful. Looks like about 4 inches inside height or a little more depending on the top.

Yup! The newer models with the smaller top may have even more space. I'm not sure. @CluckNDoodle collects them like baseball cards

I can't deny it! Lol! I don't have the newest dome top, though it will likely find its way to my hatchery for next year's hatching season! It has been mentioned by a few people with both the older and newer model that the newer dome top actually has slightly less head room. The outer edges have more space on the old models and the new one is flat inside so it's all at the lowest point...if that makes sense. It's not a huge difference.

A question for the NR 360 incubator, does it rotate the eggs itself? I am looking into getting a mid price rage incubator.

Yes, it has an automatic horizontal turner built in.

What lead you to pick the NR 350 over a brinsea? They’re the two I’m stuck between too

You're probably not talking to me, but this is what I think.
NRs are more bang for your buck, so to speak. I just liked the design more honestly. A Brinsea that would fit upwards of 22 eggs is almost twice as much as the NR. And just as good IMO.
