Nurture Right Egg Incubator with Auto Turner, Holds 22 Eggs

First time using an incubator. I bought this cause of great reviews. I had a 70% hatch rate. I did my own quail eggs from my flock. They started hatching right on time for 24 hours straight. Very easy to use

We ran a Hova incubator (built in egg turner and fan) against Harris farms nurture right 360 to hatch 3 clutches of chicken and geese eggs that amounted to 40 eggs total. I wanted to see which would be better for our purposes, as they both had great reviews. They both have their own positive and negative attributes, and I think they actually work best in tandem. The Hova had a 66-80% hatch rate, while the nature right had 50%. However, the nature right had more accurate temps and even a built in humidity gauge, but lost heat quicker and built up heat slower (for egg checks) than the more stable hova, being that the hova is styrofoam, and the nature right is plastic topped for viewing. Hova also retained humidity better and I had to add water, less often, but it was a lot messier to add water to than the nature right. I hatch for children, so the nature right was perfect for little eyes to watch, while not disturbing the hatching. What I found best for my situation was to incubate In the hova up to the last 3 days( as it is more stable & a bit less needy, and much higher hatch rate), and then move them to the nature right for the last 3 days (egg turner removed obviously). Then the kids could watch the eggs hatch easily. Overall, if you only want to get one, the hova has a higher hatch rate and is pretty darn stable. ( Hands down, ALWAYS get the egg turner and fan included, no matter what you choose). However, if you have kids and 50% hatch rate is ok by you, the nature right is an excellent choice. They both came with egg lights. The nature right was built into the top and the egg balanced on top. The kids liked that and didn’t fight. Hova came with a flashlight type accessory egg light, which I preferred as an adult. Both are excellent products, you just need to purchase based on your specific needs. Just remember, spend the extra for the egg turner and fan built in!

I absolutely love this incubator! I would have given it 6 stars if i could! And here's why.........I did quite a bit of studying and research on incubators in general and knew I didn't want the type that you had to use the Styrofoam packaging to help keep temperatures, and I wanted the eggs to roll, not just rock back and forth like those cheaper ones at farm stores. I always came back to this one but hesitated because of the price, but my husband told me to go ahead and buy it. BOY am I ever so glad I did!!! It is so easy to set-up and I am truly astounded with my success rate of live hatchlings!! First time using the Manna incubator, I only put in 12 chicken eggs. (Now keep in mind I have NEVER used an incubator of any type, ever....so this was my virgin run so to speak.) I love the automatic countdown timer, that is so much easier than trying to keep track on a calendar. When day 19 arrives, which for chickens, is when the Lock-down starts, the egg roller stops turning automatically (youll see that light turn off on top) and thats when you remove the turning tray. The candling light is great! Definitely bright enough to see what you need to see whats going on inside the shells. (Darker/colored shells are more difficult, but the air sack is easily spotted, and the light even turs itself off after 5 minutes. I did invest in a small thermometer/ hydrometer that fit perfectly in the center of the turning tray without inhibiting the turning of the eggs, mostly to monitor how accurate the temperature and humidity was from the top to the egg level. And it was within .5° and about spot on for humidity, so I adjusted the temperature up between. 5 to 1 degree. (Now this works for my kitchen due to my household temperature, yours very well could vary. But I definitely recommend purchasing the additional thermometer. ) Adding water was not complicated nor "labor-intensive", once A side is filled, it was simple to add more when needed, for me it was as easy as looking at the little area that you add the water from the exterior, usually 2x per 24 hours. The success rate I've had, as I said has been phenomenal! 11 live hatches out of 12 1st run. 2nd time I got to work with reloading with 20 hen eggs, to which I got 18 live chicks!! I currently have a full 21 and down to day 12 on the countdown timer, so we'll see how many hatch this time! I absolutely 💯% recommend this incubator to anyone who is interested in trying to hatch their own flock!

I currently have 3 of these, I plan to add more. I have tired the super expensive incubators, and have sold them and gone back to these. We hatch a lot of chicks for our business and these have been the easiest to work with and have given the best rates of hatching. I do wish, the humidity was easier to control, especially at hatching because when chicks start coming the humidity sky rockets-even with the small vent open completly-and you have to worry about chicks getting shrink wrapped in the egg...I tend to have to slightly lift the lid so often to get humidity to drop back to normal range..which is time consuming because you are stuck there for quite awhile...or having to take the risk of issues with your hatch rate. Other than that, it's been great. Never had temp issues. Cleaning it is fairly easy, and I never had issues with chicks getting hurt by the incubator.

Don’t waste your money the incubator can’t keep humidity correctly to save its life, the adjustable vent is so tiny you can’t adjust the humidity to the right percentage. No matter how much or how little water you add, you have to constantly either lift the lid or add warm water. This could be very easily fixed by putting more vents or a bigger one but the designers were not bright enough to figure that out. Its either to way high or way to low. Jumping from 30% to 70% or worse, no matter what you do. The vent does nothing unless you constantly have just the right amount of humidity in the air (which never happens) it’s useless. Lost numerous batches of eggs, chicken, duck, and goose. It’s horrible watching the babies die because they could not get out of their shells. If you get 1 out of ten to hatch that’s about as good as this thing gets and that’s if you constantly keep opening the lid or adding warm water. The rest you can candle and see dead babies inside the shells. Worst design ever!

I have some mixed feelings about the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator. Since ordering and receiving this incubator, I have run two batches of chicken eggs through it and achieved around an 80% hatch rate. I think that a lot of this better hatch rate has to do with the unit stability keeping the temperature and humidity within the desired limits. The unit is very straightforward to set up and get operational. The instructions are well written and essentially more or less in a poster form type presentation that is easy to read from just a glance. Cleaning the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator isn't to difficult, but it should be noted that the plastic construction seems to stain easily, especially in the water reservoirs. I think some of this has to do with our particular water which is very hard and can leave a scaly buildup. I think it is very crucial to try and keep the unit as clean as possible at all times to prevent unsanitary conditions from getting started. The primary issues I have with the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator don't necessarily impede the operation of the unit itself, but make the handling of the unit top cover which contains the brains of the unit. It is a dome type top that isn't very easy to handle simply because there are no handles designed into the unit to begin with. I find it a bit challenging to get the cover top to properly seat without a little wiggling it into place. But the removing of the top cover itself is challenging and without something to really grab onto, I always get the feeling that I might drop the cover and destroy at least a few eggs in the process. So in my opinion it is imperative to get very comfortable removing and replacing the cover a few times before getting started with your first batch. The overall operation of the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator appears to be very dependable and the control panel features I find pretty easy to understand and use. With the control portion of the unit being built into the top cover, it makes viewing all the eggs at once a little difficult to view without entirely removing the top cover. Despite a few obvious small issues, the hatch rates I've had so far are great enough to not rate the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator any lower than 4 stars. The price point of the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator seems substantially higher than similar models I've seen. But again, the final hatch rate is what is ultimately important to me. There are other incubator units that I've seen and/or used that appear to be "knockoff" models as they look nearly identical in design to the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator. I think that some of these knockoffs may actually be the same design, but are likely to use lesser quality parts to keep their prices lower than the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator. And that's where paying attention to product ratings is important for comparison. The Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator ratings far outshine the ratings many of the less expensive incubators are priced at, and the rating comments confirm my feelings that the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator is simply better made and is likely to long outlast the other similar lower priced units. So my final conclusion is that the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator is a good product that I would recommend to fellow poultry hatching enthusiasts. Four stars.

Smaller Silkie chicken eggs work as long as you face the smaller pointy ends inward. The turning process scared the begivies outta me at first because it turns so fast but after I candled them on day 7 and put them back in a more evenly spread out and with pointy ends facing inwards, the spin is less spastic and is now perfect! ! Before this, the eggs were spinning sideways and were getting stuck upside-down but luckily none broke 😄 PROS: I also love that I don’t have to open the incubator to add water!! The water slot is on the outside! Don’t have to turn the eggs! I’d prefer it to turn slower but it actually works! This incubator actually shows humidity! It’s large and will be very nice and easy to watch chicks hatch! Incubation lockdown will be a breeze! Remember that 3 days before they hatch: you gotta take the turning trey out, put soft shelf liner on the bottom, and uncover and fill the other water trey! It keeps track of incubation lockdown so you potentially don’t have to take the spinning trey out(but I won’t take my chances) CONS hard to open the incubator by myself so I have someone else hold the top for me because it’s bigger than my other incubators. Hard to place the lid back on: it takes a lot of careful fiddling to get the top back on correctly. It has a candling light on top but it doesn’t really work: the light light up the entire incubator bottom so I just end up getting blinded. It’s fine because a small flashlight I cup between my hands in a pitch dark room does the trick! Later review? When the eggs hatch I’ll come back and give it my final review because this product can’t be rated fairly until all of my 17 eggs are hatched!

Holds temperature and humidity with ease. Functions quite the same as most other incubators and the guide to button functionality is printed on top so it’s rather easy to use. I’ve used other incubators around this price range but this is by far the best. Seems like a quality unit that’s assembled well and functions as intended. Incredible value as with other accessories meant for this you can easily adapt it for use with eggs other than chicken such as emu dove quail etc etc. I would highly recommend this incubator.

I have tried to contact the seller bit they have yet to reply to my messages

I founds this incubator to be great, instructions where easily deciphered. Set up is simple, clean up after hatch out was easy and as it states it does everything. We’ve had multiple hatch outs of 80+% rates. The only thing I can even maybe say that was a bit challenging at first was getting the humidity to an optimal range. Requires to be in a room where you can more easily control the room temp and humidity so as not to effect the incubator.

Great quality with built in candler and egg rotation. Safety features tell you if temperature gets too low. Don't listen to the people who say that the American plug isn't changeable, there figure 8 "kettle lead" which you can unplug to put a uk version in. I used an old sky plus HD cable.

Very accurate

Tengo dos ya de estás y pienso comprar más funcionan muy bien y muy efectivas
