Thermometer Temp

Many here like the Govee brand available on Amazon. Some of those are wifi or bluetooth so you can see the temp/humidity on your phone. Those are nice for checking the brooder too.

No, it won't hurt them. Just be sure to test the new one out for a few hours before moving them. The NR360 is good, but humidity control stability can be a pain. That was my first one, and it's in the basement now.

I don't know what your budget is, but the ones I have (Brinsea) have a pump that keeps humidity stable, so we don't have to add water a couple of times a day. If you're around to check often, then that would work.

I stay home with my kids and work from home, so I’ll definitely be around to add water when needed! I ordered the NR360, and it should be here tonight or tomorrow. I’ll test run it and then switch the eggs over

Wow, that's almost unbelievable for so popular an incubator. My old Hovabator (certainly not as easy to use as the 360) only needed water added every 3 or 4 days. If you have to add water twice a day I'd consider that a major design flaw.

I have had to add water once sometimes twice a day to the NR360, however I live in a very hot and dry area so I expected that. Much better than the cheaper one I had bought from Amazon that I was adding a small amount of water every few hours! If I lived somewhere that had more humidity in the air I would probably dry hatch, but without any water the humidity level sits around 15% which is definitely too low.
