A reliable thermometer..

[Jessica89]

Hello everyone,
So today I found out all of my ducklings died just before hatching.
Needless to say I have been heart broken and shed a lot of tears.

But, I am going to give it another go in a week or two. I have a visual impairment and had trouble seeing the thermometer so was hoping to get a digital one which will also measure the humidity for me.

Has anyone used this for an incubator and is it reliable?

Very few thermometers sold in stores are really accurate enough for hatching. Brinsea's Spot Check is very accurate and has an easy-to-read digital display. Any hygrometer (or thermometer) you buy should ALWAYS be calibrated - you can do a google search to find several good ways of doing that.
