Oh the enabling is definitely there! LOL! Yes convincing hubby would be nice.. it would be cool if I hatched for others with the option to keep one or two of the hatched lol kinda like stud service with dogs and you can get pick of the litter? I love the incubation and hatching process.. just running out of room now lol even tho we extended our run.. I already have 12 babies and now these in the bator oh my goodness hahah

Edited for autocorrect lol

That's exactly what I did! I would hatch a bunch of chicks and keep like 3 from a hatch.

It's really tough to sell anything without social media anymore. I used to be extremely private, I was one of the last of my friends to get a smart phone or a Facebook account because I just didn't see the need for it.
...fast forward to today and I even have a YouTube channel.
I'm still an introvert but I guess I'm an introvert with an audience now.

I am no introvert tho lol! I had FB for 9 years and decided I did t want it anymore so deleted it.. forums like this are cool but I feel like social media like FB are ruining social lives for the most part and I wanted to spend more time with people I. The flesh lmao tho i do notice as I get older I don't wanna be around people as much as I used to, just my chooks lol .. oh, and hubby

Hey all.. I have spent the last week off and one reading this entire thread lol!

My husband got me the NR360 for Christmas and I did my first batch of 18 eggs from my own flock in March.. 2 were unfertilized and one I dropped while candling ( was alive and moving and I was devastated.. the other 15 all hatched and healthy. So if I hadn't dropped on of my ee I would have had %100 hatch rate on my first ever batch!

Second batch I did 15 eggs from my flock and I don't remember exactly what happened but had a few unfertile and several early quitters.. I do remember issues with humidity but not sure if that's what happened.. had 7 hatch healthy

Third batch I had 20 from my flock in .. 3 infertile and 2 early quitters.. 15 hatched healthy..

Convinced hubby I needed another bator! LOL

The batch I am on now I got 8 eggs from a fellow chicken enthusiast who has approx 40 layers and 2 roos with them. The chances of fertility I figured to be low. Turns out, 1 infertile 7 fertile and growing! That is in bator 1.. second bator has my shipped eggs of EE, Fibroegger, Black Copper Maran, f2 and f3 olive egger, olive egger, Orrington surprise, English blue Orrington, silkie/ee mix, and whiting true blue.. 16 eggs were shipped. Seems 2 were either infertile or scrambled from shipping as they were shipped kinda strange and no signage saying live embryos or anything. Just s fragile sign. 3 early quitters.. at start of incubation I decided to put a few of my girls eggs in with them because I know how strong hatch rate is with mine lol. That way I could gage development of all from them.. one of those was infertile. I have a Barred Rock that would either not mate with the roo or throw his stuff because I would get a few non fertile from that breed. Thst being said as of last night I have 11 shipped eggs in bator 2 with 2 from my girls.. also looks like the 1 fibro I had left has early quit.. I have several I cannot see into so I just wait I guess. And one that appears strange but we will see what happens with that one.. my loss count if this one is no good is both my fibro, 1 Orrington, 1 silkie, 1 BCM, and one EE didn't make it from my shipped eggs..


All in all I am super pleased with the NR360 and would highly recommend it to anyone just starting out with incubation as it is user friendly! Also told hubby this would be it for a while but I am already running over in my head how many more I van get from my girls now that my roo is gone lol.. trying not to give in to the addiction hahahah

Hey, I’m Mel, and I’m an Incubatorholic…

I’ve been incubating eggs for many years. From homemade to high tech…from parrots to chickens…been there done that. It is a worse addiction than chick days at TSC. Especially when the concept of shipped eggs came to fruition. I only run 3 incubators now (one is a 360), but it’s more than enough to feed my addiction.

Sounds like you enjoy the thrill of it as much as I do. And it sounds like you have a knack for it too.

Happy hatching

"Only" run 3 incubators. Lol, it's the classic hatchaholics line.

I found that the incubator works really well with a dry hatching.

 

[Cluckingtime]

Have run dry and wet hatches.. had hatch 1 and 3 dry hatch.. had 2 and this one with my mail ordered eggs wet hatch.. my friends eggs are dry hatching.. its a great incubator all around IMO..

I said I would post pics of the three I kept from my first hatch and here they are! Shadow, Blackberry and Walter!
Walter has no tail yet as you can see lol looks like a speckled bowling ball currently and shadow was very Interested in the camera haha

Apologies for not checking back in with a candleing update. There are 6 remaining with signs of life, and 12 days left on the countdown. Really Really need some of these Muscovies to hatch.

I Def need more practice at candleing pictures.
