The fan issues brought up in this thread were only in the very first model and they resolved it very quickly. The incubator doesn't even look the same anymore and has more of a dome style top to it. You're several models away from version 1 now.

No incubator is perfect, but there are tons of people that swear by this incubator, including myself. It's a safe place to start for a newbie. Very user friendly and forgiving.

So sorry! The little chick whose foot went thru is probably broken it wont use it at all toes are curled it hobbles around the bleeding stopped it is 4 days old now, I eye drop water and it pecks at the food but just cannot cull this poor little beautiful colored polish chick, Harris offered to pay for the chick and because they have heard about the open fan sent me a silicon cover that the squares still look too large imo. I got a shelf liner with small holes to cover the grate on lockdown. yes I agree the design needs work I find it hard to take the cover off you need 2 hands. Again sorry about what you went thru.

I bought this incubator about a month ago. Worked perfect for 21 days, then on hatch day, everything went wrong. First, condensation built up way too high in the incubator and water started collecting in the digital display, even with the humidity control all the way open. The humidity was so high, the chicks wouldn't dry. Then, about six chicks hatched and I noticed that they all had bloody beaks with blood dripping down their faces, so I started watching. When the chicks would stand up under the fan, the vent holes are so large, the chicks could stick their heads up into the fan. The fan blade would smack them in the head, breaking their beaks. This is a terrible design. I snatched the chicks out of the incubator and put them directly under the heat lamp to try to save as many as possible. Then the high temperature alarm started going off on the machine (saying it was 219 degrees), the candling lamp came on and none of the buttons worked. The fan was still running so I put a thermometer inside hoping that it would still run long enough to hatch the rest of my eggs. The temperature dropped to 79 degrees and stayed there. The machine was completely broken at that point and I'm returning it.

I had that issue with my second machine and rare turkey eggs , they sent a replacement and it came broken contact the company . they may do better for you . my first one just crashed so i am done with these machines should of bought the brinsea like i wanted but NO i won one of these in a raffle and loved it till now . Go

The fan wasn't the problem, it was the grate foot slipped thru. I contacted the company they were very responsive.

What did they offer for the grate? I just ordered my first one and now I’m concerned. Thanks

Contact the company, they will send u a cover for the fan.

How do I contact the manufacturer? I can't seem to find their web site

[email protected] is the email I used to contact them with questions. Unless you have a version 1, they fixed the primary complaints about this unit. I fortunately didn't have to go through the painful learning experience with version 1 and I have had great success with both the version 2 & 3. I attached the image of the old and new fan grates so you can compare yours. Good luck!

My first time with a Nature Right 360... sure hope I have good results.
