      ​​@@devonswink9627That's great, congrats! Can I ask at what relative humidity you kept your eggs until lockdown? I'm having a hard time keeping my humidity under 57% with any water in it and I hear that's too high, so I'm thinking of keeping it in the 30s, like the video suggests, by leaving it dry unless it drops below 30. Thanks for any info! :)

      @@jenniferhigley1385 well to be honest it’s somewhere between 30 and 60. When we notice it has dropped we add some water. Just remember in nature temperatures and humidity aren’t consistent because the hen does leave the nest occasionally. I also have a small electronic thermometer/humidity sensor at egg level so I can verify everything. It showed temperature a little cooler so I increased the temperature on the incubator to compensate. Just hatched out 15 more chicks and all were healthy. Good luck with your hatching, let me know how it works out for you. 😁

    • @devonswink9627
      @devonswink9627 5 місяців тому

      And there are many people who don’t ever add water and have good hatch rates. We live in a really humid area and ours runs high sometimes even with the vents open.

    • @jenniferhigley1385
      @jenniferhigley1385 5 місяців тому

      Thank you so much for the response! I live in a very dry area so was concerned about dry hatching, but we have spring humidity happening at the moment and it fluctuates quite a bit day by day. From 70 to 20 percent over the course of one day so I'm mostly using the incubator's hygrometer. I know my eggs are fertile so I'm really hoping for a good hatch rate. I have a Grovee thermometer / hygrometer but I'm concerned it won't slide with the eggs and prevent them from rotating properly. Do you have yours actually in with the eggs?
      Thank you again for the info! I will let you know how it goes. 😊

    My grandmother told me to remove the broken shells of the hatched babies, but to leave the babies as they can go for 3 days without food or water, because their peeping will actually encourage the ones that have not yet hatched to work harder to get out and join their siblings

      The hen “sings” to her eggs to encourage them to hatch too. She “talks” to them during formation so they recognize they are her chicks and she their mother.
      I always found that beautiful. I am incubating for the first time and didn’t think about chicks singing to their …. Clutch-mates?? Lol. That sorta makes my day.

    Thank you for sharing all the valueable information with us, I have one advice to you that in the last 3-days of incubation 18-21 day is good that you tur off the turner(though th incubator stopps turning the eggs by it self any way but its good to take out the cable for the turning motor) BUT i recomend that you take out the white turning plastic device"turner" at 18 th day from the incubator to minimazing of legg injuris of the little chicks when they come oout from there eggs becuase that ecxactly what happened my with in my first hatching.

    The nurture right 360 cost over $180 with tax, great incubator, but only lasts 2 or maybe 3 summers, if you keep it clean and dry, a teardrop of 3in1 machine oil on turner shaft helps fight rust from humidity during storage times, clean off oil when in use 😊

  • @bobbalcom2658
    @bobbalcom2658 23 дні тому

    I think I would decide against this incubator and here's why:
    I suspect the rail that moves and turns the eggs can and occasionally did hang up on a burr or protrusion on the egg/s. Any amount of friction can and would stop an egg from turning. It got hung up, slid until it turned freely again and then hung up again all while you were not watching. This could have quite possibly been the reason for the egg stopping its development. The incubator that has the yellow pockets and tilts the egg constantly from side to side and in a very consistent manner seems to me the ideal way to ensure positively every egg gets turned and exactly the same way. I haven't bought one yet but this definitely helped in my decision. Thanks for posting.

    Thanks so much for this video . I just bought a nurture Right 360 . ( a little spooky that this video was suggested to me.) This video helped a lot . I do have a question. My instructions say to keep the humidity between 48% and 55% the first 18 days . You said you keep yours lower. Can you tell me your reason ? Thanks again

    • @chiefeanleebordeaux808
      @chiefeanleebordeaux808 Рік тому +4

      Low humidity will cause the eggs to lose too much weight, which means the air space will be larger than what is ideal. A large air space also means the chick will be smaller than normal. Small chicks are weak chicks, and weak chicks cannot always hatch on their own, and they may die just before or just after hatching. Too much moisture in the incubator prevents normal evaporation and results in a decreased hatch, but excessive moisture is seldom a problem in small incubators. Too little moisture results in excessive evaporation, causing chicks to stick to the shell sometimes and hatch crippled at hatching time. I incubate hard-to-hatch Serama and Puerto Rican Kikiriki's. Ideally I shoot for around 42% with great results. I own 7 Nurture Right 360's, BTW.

    In three weeks I plan to start incubating some chicken eggs for the first time. I bought this incubator and upon reading reviews and the user manual, I have some concerns and wondered if you could help...
    A lot of the reviews said their chicks hatched a day early.. does that mean the incubator is running too warm? Piggybacking off of that, after reading the manual, I'm concerned the room I plan to leave the incubator in won't be warm enough. We keep our home fairly cool.. is there a way you would recommend warming the room to accommodate the incubator?

      So I can actually answer this these new auto turners have a shut off so they don't turn anymore after a certain time
      but this model of incubator the turner has a separate plug you can pull out so it can't turn at all because there's no power going to the turner
      and no the tray doesn't hurt the chick's at all but yes if it did turn it could maybe hurt them but these things are made to be safe as possible outside of user error or misuse of the machine

    Aren't you supposed to remove the turning rack on lockdown? I always remove mine. I prefer to dry hatch and add water to raise the humidity in lockdown. I live in a very humid part of the south and without adding water the humidity stays in the 40's so dry hatching works really well for me. I actually have 16 in the brooder in January, what was I thinking? Now they will have to be inside for weeks 🙄

    It’s ok to open the incubator during lockdown, you just shouldn’t do it all the time. Plus after chicks hatch the humidity skyrockets because the chicks are all wet

    I hesitated to assist, but that advice on youtube videos was wrong for me. I now help the “ shrink wrapped” after 6? hours or more. Watched probably a dozen youtube videos on that. I agree with comment…cleaning unit with non toxic vinegar.

    How much do you sell your fertilized eggs for? I'm interested in the wydot eggs, and the rare ones, the blues.

    How do you know those eggs have been fertilized? We have hens and plan on getting a rooster so we can hatch chick's but I'm confused as to know if the rooster fertilized the eggs that have been laid..

    • @emilywalton4105
      @emilywalton4105 Рік тому

      It usually takes awhile for your rooster to fertlize your eggs. Our rooster didn't started mating with the hens til he was 8 months old. We start incubating them getting babies. Usually one of our hens will go broody lay on some eggs. When you have a Roo you will have fertile eggs if you incubate them they should turn into chicks. But not always since a hen can reject sperm during mating. We got over 23 baby chicks last year from him.

    • @rachaeloverman7848
      @rachaeloverman7848 Рік тому +3

      You just choose eggs from a hen that's been with a rooster. You trust they've been fertilized then candle them on day 7 and see if they've developed.

    • @chriswhite436
      @chriswhite436 Рік тому +1

      Buy fertilized eggs from a good rated breeding farm. Or if you have a rooster with hens, keep an eye on them and see if he is doing his thing on them. If he is.then every egg she lays will be fertilized. Note: not all fertilized eggs are guaranteed to be a successful hatch.

    • @chriswhite436

      When you order eggs online or wherever be sure to let them sit out in a room for 24 hrs before putting them in a incubator

      @Steven Fugate because incase the air sack detached. Letting it sit out with pointed side down for 24hrs gives the air sack a chance to reconnect.

    Why do you candle? I hatched hundreds of eggs and never candled any. I never had any pop either. I checked for cracks beforehand and just left it. I did take turner out 2 days before expected hatch. I guess you are doing the candle for a science lesson. I noticed a UA-cam channel candled their eggs and they never had a good hatch.

    You don't have to see movement...if you see large healthy veins, then the chick is alive.

    • @oliviadavis3638
      @oliviadavis3638 Рік тому +5

      I definitely agree, but generally a healthy chick would be moving, but no movement at the moment isn’t a good enough reason to throw it out. They do have to take rests sometime
