Suggestions please.

I also have an FI incubator. It's an old styrofoam incubator that has an external shell of thin plastic. The gauges are completely inaccurate. They are the old dial type. I found an accurate combination thermometer/hygrometer and use that. I set the the temp (has a knob control) as close to right as I can but leave the temp just a touch low. Mine has 2 viewing windows on top. I cover these, to varying degrees with 1/2 inch sheets of styrofoam, to more precisely control the temp. I use damp sponges and the vent holes to regulate the humidity.
I have to adjust things several times per day but I'm now retired and have the time to do so. My hatches are running around 90%.

That's the same this I have to do. But with work it's hard to keep humidity where it needs to be and then temp rises. Not above 102°f that I have seen but I have to make sure I wet the sponges twice a day to keep it close to what it needs.

So figured I probably should get a more accurate incubator for now. I can always use thw Styrofoam one for lockdown of needed.

I just hate seeing chicks in eggs that didn't make it do to something that is more on me than nature

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting a new one also. It would be nice to have an incubator I can put eggs into and maybe add a little water occasionally and do nothing else until they hatch.

How accurate is the built in thermometer and hygrometer on nr360?

Mine was dead on with temp on a test run, and 2% different from my hygrometer. So pretty darn close!

Thank you.
