23.5...nothing...I will wait until tomorrow to take them out. I have 2 dozen more eggs waiting and this batch in there now only has 4 left. I am going to head to the store and get a new thermometer. What should I be using to measure humidity? I have a hovabator 1602 that I borrowed from someone. I may have messed up by not measuring humidity. Instructions didn't say anything about measuring...I just assumed that the size of the troughs in the bottom were the right size to keep it the right humidity. Upon thinking back, that was pretty dumb...different climates, different humidities...Oh, and it said to remove the red vent plugs if you are above 6000ft. We are almost 8000ft above sea level, so I kept them out the whole time. So, anyway, I think I messed up...What is the best thing that I can use to measure humidity with...that can be bought at Home Depot or Walmart

I live in the boonies and the nearest Walmart is 40 minutes away and the nearest Petstore (that sells humidity gauges) is an hour and fifteen away. If the reptile gauges from a petstore are better, I can see if the little one in town has them. I want this next batch to actually hatch, lol...so, help me please
