I have both incubators and much prefer my Maticoopx. You were spot on with the comparison; I hate how the Nurture Rite lid is hard to seat and that's a pain when you're taking eggs in and out to candle. I prefer having my eggs in the vertical position rather than laying flat as the air sack stays at the large end and candling is easier to see. The only reason I didn't purchase a 2nd Maaticoopx was I had an old incubator go down with a load of eggs and couldn't wait to order another one from Amazon so I ran to Tractor Supply and picked up the Nurture Rite . In all the reviews people seem to love their Nurture Rite and it is a good one but like you said it's a matter of preference.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for dropping by.

The Nurture Right incubator is best suited for hatching backyard eggs, where tossing and turning won't matter because they are sturdy backyard eggs. Ebays ordered eggs are very delicate so it's best to use the Maticoopx because the eggs don't get rolled around, it just tilts the eggs and the eggs' membranes don't get any more damaged.

Yeah, ordering eggs is already stressful enough. Having them in a good incubator is important.

I have the nurture right 360 and up until my last hatch 2 1/2 weeks ago I thought it was the perfect incubator. On my last batch it was the first time I ever used govees inside the incubator. Both govees read almost identical temperatures and the humidity readings are also very close. I put both of them in directly across from each other. When the automatic egg turner would move the temperature readings on the govees wound change. The nurture right 360 has hot and cold spots and it’s evident seeing the temps fluctuate on the govees as the egg turner changed positions. Now since the Maticoopx has a very similar design I’m curious if that incubator has got and cold spots as well.

Personally, I haven't tried using additional devices. With a 100% hatch rate, I can't imagine mine has any significant fluctuation. At the same time, you have the humidity window allowing air flow from the environment outside of the incubator. That draft has to hit somewhere. Keep up the good work and good luck with your birds.

Thank you so much for making this video. I am in the market for my first incubator and these are the two I am considering. On Amazon it lists the manna pro as being made in the USA. Can you confirm this?

@growinggreenways5623

We are so glad you found it helpful. To your question: Mana Pro is located in Missouri, USA, at least by address. However, the box for my incubator clearly reads (in tiny letters) Manufactured Mana Pro, and a little farther down (still in tiny letters) it says "Made in China". I guess it is entirely possible that they began manufacturing them in the USA since my model rolled off the production line, but I highly doubt it.

Looking into a Maticoopx. I unscrew my NR360 to clean it. Does the Maticoop have the option of unscrewing the base and taking out the motor, to avoid the potential for water getting in it?

@growinggreenways5623

Ай бұрын

No. You would have to take the motor off (just a few screws, but plastic may not do well with long term removal, reinstallation. Personally, I just sit mine on the side when washing with the motor on the side facing downward. That keeps the water from getting into the motor. I let it dry out for a few days before plugging back in if I am concerned about any moisture getting in the motor.

hi, Do you know who makes the Maticoopx incubator? origin ? Thank you.

@growinggreenways5623

As far as I can tell, the manufacturer is simply Maticoopx. They do not list any other company as a manufacturer. I don't know anything beyond that.

Curious as to how you load the maticoopx…. If you only have a dozen eggs. Would you just fill up 2 trays. How would you keep them vertical?

@growinggreenways5623

10 ай бұрын

Personally, I would put all twelve vertical in one tray. Then place that tray in the middle slot of the incubator rail. I prefer my eggs to be vertical rather than horizontal; I've always seemed to have better hatch rates that way. And I wouldn't want them next to the side of the incubator if I had the option of putting them in the middle. I didn't have any issues with cold spots or drafts with my Maticoopx, but if you were to have any, it would likely be around the edges.

Random question but why do eggs need to rotate? Do chickens rotate there eggs when they sit on them? Just something I was curious on?

@growinggreenways5623

6 ай бұрын

As the chick is developing, it can get attached or stuck to the shell. Rotating keeps that from happening. And yes, the mother hen does rotate her eggs by moving them around with her beak while she sits on them or when she gets off the nest/moves around in the nest. Much of the artificial incubation process is modeled after what the hen does instinctually.

My friends hatched deformed chicks and chicks stuck to one side when the incubator is not turning. So it's a nust to turn the eggs for proper chick development.

Unfortunately the maticoopx is not available.
