Hatching eggs requires patience.
Which would be considerably easier if you couldn't see the eggs sitting right there doing absolutely nothing.
The Harris Farms® Nurture Right 360™ Incubator isn't going to make you more patient, but its clear 360° viewing window will at least let you obsess from every angle.
Designed for small home hatches, the Nurture Right 360 combines circulated air, digital temperature and humidity readings, automatic egg turning, a built-in LED egg candler, and room for up to 22 chicken eggs in one tabletop incubator.
Place the incubator on a stable, level surface in a room with a steady temperature, away from direct sunlight and drafts. Harris Farms recommends a room temperature between 74°F and 80°F and warns against allowing it to fall below 72°F, particularly at night.
Get the incubator running and allow the temperature and humidity to stabilize before adding your hatching eggs.
Once your eggs are loaded, test the automatic turner to make sure every egg can move freely. The turner operates automatically during incubation and stops three days before the programmed hatch date so the eggs can remain still for hatching.
The digital display lets you monitor humidity, but the incubator doesn't magically manage it for you.
Humidity is adjusted by adding water and using the incubator's ventilation controls. The amount needed can vary with your eggs and the conditions in the room, so follow the incubator instructions and the appropriate incubation recommendations for the species you're hatching.
Try to avoid unnecessary lid opening, especially near hatch time. Every time you lift the lid, you're changing the little environment you've spent the last few weeks carefully babysitting.
Clean the incubator thoroughly after each hatch. Harris Farms instructs users to fully open the air vent and run the cleaned incubator dry, without added water, for 24 hours before storage to make sure it's thoroughly dry.
Then put it away until the next time you swear you're absolutely not hatching any more chicks this year.
We both know how that's going to go.
