    DUCK COOP

    Incubator temp vs egg temp

    Hello all, new to both this forum and to incubators. I have made this bator from a styrofoam cooler. My problem is that the aquarium thermometer + my new hygrometer thermometer are giving me higher readings (38-40*C) whilst my black thermometer with a probe that is touching the eggs directly...
