Best Hygrometer/Thermometer??

[Lovefarmanimals]

Hi guys! i would like to know in your experience , which Hygrometer&Thermometer has worked best for you? (Which brand, how much, where did you bought it from etc..) My last hatch was only 4 chicks out of 18 eggs and I'm wondering if the hygrometer and thermoter was not marking the right units, and i would like a better hatch rate next time.. i have a built-in fan incubator.. Thank you!

I use this thermometer from Thermoworks.

They also have hygrometers but I prefer to weigh eggs to insure proper moisture loss rather than use a hygrometer.
0.65% weight loss per day is near ideal.

Acurite 00325 from walmart. Got one found it to be dead accurate on moisture and temp. Hatched hundreds of quail and chickens with mine. Here is the walmart link https://www.walmart.com/ip/AcuRite-Digital-Humidity-and-Temperature-Monitor-00325/16888914
Used it in my homemade incubator and worked great!

I have an Acurite with a remote that I use to see temps in a coop. It is fairly accurate for temp but the humidity is way off and the temperature isn't accurate enough for incubation.
The Thermoworks one is guaranteed to be accurate to ±0.9°F
while the Acurite one is only accurate to ±2°F
The Acurite humidity is supposed to be accurate to ±4% RH but our humidity is now 95% and the Acurite is reading 14%.

Thank you! I appreciate your input in the matter is good to know and learn this stuff for future reference when incubating eggs
