Yeah I agree about the China made incubator I don't go by their readings but a digital temp and humidity one! And the incubator always reads different for humidity temp is much on point

Hi Everyone,does anyone know what the lock down humidity should be for ducks?
Can hatching eggs be an addiction even if you're not very good at it ??
I realize I need one of those small incubators. I have two of the big Styrofoam ones but I need something smaller.
Suggestions ??
For those of you with the Chinese knockoff incubators - do NOT trust the unit's meters! Get an independent hygrometer and thermometer (or more is even better) and test for accuracy. Ignore the unit.
It's been awhile since I hatched mine but I think it was the same as chicks. 65 to 70 percent
I am going to the pet store after work and getting a Zoo Med Hermit Crab Dual Thermometer & Humidity Gauge. To make sure that I have the correct temps and humidity for lock down.
The reviews aren't that great. Make sure you check it against another thermometer that can be checked for accuracy (one you can actually put in ice water or boiling water). The aquarium thermometers are good for that.
Thanks for the heads up. What do you use to measure the humidity?
