Where are you adding water? Is it through the A and B ports?

Both because it is lockdown and I lost the tab. I barely put any in B though.

Where is it leaking from? I'm wondering if you're overflowing it. There are ventilation holes under each corner, so if it spills over the edge it might be coming out the corner.

Yeah it is coming from the back.

Is it still leaking? Are any of your eggs pipped right now?

Not yet, just put them in lockdown. I put a towel I think that stopped it. I am looking into getting another incubator, is the magicfly a good choice?

Ok. I would open the lid and check. I think you just overflowed the port. I honestly think the Nurture Right is one of the best incubators out there. I absolutely love mine, and I'll never get a different brand. If I need sonething bigger I'll just get another NR. They are so good. I had a Magicfly, and used it for 2 years. I hatched over a hundred eggs out of it, and had a number of 100% hatch rates. I "outgrew" it though, and got my NR this year. I don't like that the plastic on the Magicfly is frosted, and the Magicfly takes a long time to get to know. My Magicfly needed to be checked with 3 different calibrated thermometers, had bad hot and cold spots, and was very hard to regulate humidity in. It only fits 9 chicken eggs, despite being advertised for 12. The digital readout on mine was 4 degrees off too. So I would stick with the NR. I've heard good things about the Incuview, but it's a bit pricier.

Maybe you could add your own little container to put in the incubator to make sure you don't overflow the port on accident. I put a piece of natural sponge or a paper towel in the container to help up the humidity.

That’s exactly what I did
