Nature Right 360

[Tex452]

After having excellent hatches out both of my NR 360 incubators, I had a bad one, I thought it might be the temperature fluctuations, so I put a thermometer in there this morning after cleaning it, when I hit the turn buttons it acted like it didn’t want to turn, I went to town and bought another thermometer to be sure, when I got back I hit the turn button’s and it wouldn’t turn, I looked at the plastic that slips over the shaft and it was cracked, the shaft was turning but the turner wasn’t, I have eggs being delivered at any time, so I ordered a new one and super glued the old one, maybe it wasn’t turning my eggs properly is why the hatch was bad.
It’s amazing it broke after just two hatches.

I put two thermometers in it one side is 99-100, the other side is 97.
I switched them around and it is the same.
I made a tent out of a towel and put it over it to see if this will help stabilize the temperature?

I just checked it and the tent helped bring the temperature back up.

Good luck on your hatch!
What breed of hatching eggs?

I have been hatching barnyard chickens, what ever I can get from family and friends.
RIR, leghorn, black australorps ect.
We bought some Wyandotte chicks that we are planning on hatching to sell in the future, right now I’m practicing and have been doing really good until this mishap.
The eggs I have ordered are quail eggs, I did order a turn table for quail eggs.
