Hey guys!
I wanted to reach out to anyone who has hatched with the NR360, trying to get statistics on the accuracy of the temperature control. I have a calibrated humidity gauge in there, and the built in humidity gauge seems to be pretty spot on, as its usually the same reading or a degree difference from my calibrated one.
I've had troubles getting a correct calibration with my additional thermometer though, so wanted to see what others experiences were.
The question I really want answers to is- How many of you have had a successful hatch with this bator, without an addition calibrated thermometer, trusting the built in gauge?
Those of you who used the bator with an additional calibrated thermometer, showing how off the gauge was please share your findings, and how successful the hatch was. I'll make a table, showing people stats for different findings for how "off" or inaccurate the built in gauge is, based on an additional calibrated thermometer inside the Bator, and a column for people who have had success with trusting the built in gauge.
My backstory-
I'm trying to hatch 9 Calico Cochin bantams eggs in this bator. My last hatched failed, and I have switched the bator and am using local eggs this time rather then shipped, so am hoping for better results. I wanted my own NR, but they seem to be out of stock right now, so I borrowed one from a friend of mine. We both set eggs on the same day, and she got a 50% hatch rate from local eggs, which doesn't seem ideal to me since they weren't shipped. Though my last hatch rate was 0%, so much better then nothing.
The friend of mine who used this bator last, that I "hatched-A-long with", didn't use an extra calibrated thermometer or humidity gauge, and got a 50% hatch rate while trusting the gauge. I'm really concerned about my calibration findings for my extra thermometer, since I got different results both times I calibrated, and I calibrated the same way each time. So I'm about to ditch the extra thermometer and trust the gauge. Especially since last time I used this calibrated thermometer, I got a 0% hatch rate. I have no idea if the was the cause or not though.
So, please share your findings on the accuracy of the built in thermometer in the Nurture Right 360 incubator. I'm very excited to see the results, and will post screen shots of the table as it grows. I think it will be interesting and helpful data for others as well. Thanks in advance!

I called it a failed hatch though, because she died two days after hatching.
