March 2023 hatch-a-long

[3KillerBs]

I have a NR360 and my manual says press and hold the "menu" and "-" button together for 5 seconds. Mine beeps very loudly when reset. I'm not sure why they made the beep so loud on these things! Hope it works for you.

I was tired from work last night so I figure I will do better today.

Somehow I squeezed 31 eggs in my NR 360… I decided to add a few more blue & teal ones when I collected eggs. For now, I am hand rotating 3x’s a day, if I see one that didn’t move since the last turn. Most are still moving except the super stacked/squished ones. Figure there will prob be at least 9 infertile so it’s only a few days of checking & manual turning.

After back and forth for a few years finally attempting to incubate in a home made incubator from a few years back. Set a dozen eggs from a coworker on Saturday evening so we shall see how things go (should be looking roughly Mar 12 I believe). Supposed to be Easter eggers or at least the majority.

OK, details from last night.

28 eggs:

• 17 known pure BBS Australorps.
• 5 BBS Australorp X French Cuckoo Marans
• 3 BBS Australorp X California White
• 3 BBS Australorp X homebrew Olive Egger (She's buff and blue so there could be some interesting chicks there).

I can't expect everything to turn properly so I'll have to hand-turn for a week until I can be fairly sure of being able to weed out clears.

I *think* I got it properly reset. I was just too tired last night to follow directions correctly.

Looking like a lot of us are going to have some very full NR360. Lol. Not sure how many of my own I will add since it will depend on what I have and whose look fertilized before the ones laid this week...

I'm trying to end up with a fairly full one.

Last year I had about 60-70% hatch rates.

I got 31 squeezed in there…

I’ll be hand-rolling til Thurs!

My eggs shipped and should be here Thurs. Thinking I will set them Fri and maybe be able to get into the Easter HAL.... Lol

I think you can join as long as you are within a day or two of the hatch date!

I'm planning on hatching mine on Easter Sunday itself -- because that's better timing for my schedule.
