Well I just lost all 44 of my chicks in my incubator due to a defective thermostat/hygrometer... I have 2 of the same brands, 1 in the incubator and 1 in the brooder pen and come to find out the one in my incubator is 19 degrees off!

I wrote the company a lovely lil letter about their product and will let you know they reply I get from them.
It just really erks me that both of these were brand new products and the bad one ends up being the one in the incubator!!!

:he:he I guess next time I will put a secondary therm/hygro it my incubator as a second opinion!
 
Stumper, I am so sorry! What a stinky rotten thing to have happen - I hope the very LEAST the company will do, besides apologize profusely, is to send you another one or two . . . .were they your own eggs or did you buy them?
 
I'm not going to search for them, but there are ways to calibrate thermometers and hygrometers on this forum. I recommend calibration and a back-up to let you know when something is wrong. It is a hard lesson for you and I am sorry it happened to you.

Next time you are at a place that sells thermometers, take a look at a few. They should all read the same, but it is surprising how far off some of them will be.
