New Incubator

[Jeanna Marie]

I have always built my own incubators and had great success at it but I decided to buy one this year. I bought a Nurture Right 360. It has been set up since yesterday (without eggs) and is holding temp and humidity perfectly. I worry that this will not continue once I put eggs in.

Anyone use this incubator? Tips for succcess?

I currently have both water chambers full to simulate lockdown.

I have the exact incubator! I absolutely love it! I have had 4 very successful hatch rates with mine. I’m 7 days away from my best hatch....
Just follow the directions carefully, making sure you add warm water daily and adjust the air flow vent as needed to regulate the humidity.
Congratulations on your new purchase! Trust that it will work....Best of luck on your hatch!

Thanks so much for the input! I'm kinda excited about it. I get my first batch of eggs tomorrow.

I just reread your post. Both vents should only be filled during lockdown......3 days before hatch day. Only fill the first chamber for the first 18 days. Humidity should only be between 50-55% until lockdown, where it should be upped to 70%.

Yep. I filled the second chamber this morning to test humidity. So far its holding at 69-70 with vent fully open. Single chamber filled it holds at 52-53 with vent half way open.

Make sure you check the temperature at the level the eggs are sitting at, Mine was off a little. After I made an adjustment, my hatch rate went way up...Good luck, I like mine as well...
