More than one hygrometer? I have three calibrated thermometers.

I have 3 eggs under a broody that are on day 15. They looked great yesterday. Had one that DIS between day 7 & day 14. Had to finally put a gate up in front the nest boxes because I had 2 full on broodies & 3 that were playing musical nest box & screwing up the hatching eggs. I would come out in the morning & one broody had taken over the others eggs & left hers to sit & get cold or I would find 2 in one box. Kicked 3 to the curb, working on breaking their broodiness & letting 2 set in different locations.

dusk here now and I've yet to check the boxes again but I'm pretty sure there's a broody in there on about a half dozen, I'm gonna shove a few more under her if she sticks it out. Got plenty of spare pens, maybe get one ready for her.

Sounds like a plan Attimus, I just dug out one of the bators today, think I will set some eggs on Thursday or to have it handy for a couple of eggs that are different ages from what the broodies are setting on. Had to rescue them from the musical chairs hens.

I have 3 hygrometers that I setup with the bator today. All 3 are reading different humidity levels. Will have to calibrate them tomorrow. No eggs are in the bator so no worries at the moment.

they can only be as good as the batterys in them. I put all the same at the same time. I have 2 . sitting side by side and/or swapping there laces didnt change a thing in the reading . temps. are dead on but humidity will vary by 3 points. I just go in the middle. Drilling them extra holes made a big difference in mine.

That's great granny, glad this hatch is going way better. I put new batteries in all 3 hygrometer today. One I know is always way off, one is a new one & the other one is usually off a bit. I will test them all & the thermoters tomorrow.
