Hen hatching humidity and temp

[My hen house]

So I thought it would be cool if the next time a hen got broody I would would stick eggs under along with a thermometer and hydrometer just to see what it reads at what do you guys think
Also then I could maybe use it for the next time I incubate eggs in a incubater

I think that would be interesting and that you should post the results.

I will most definitely post results in this thread when I have a broody so if you watch it eventually I'll have results

Following! I actually have a broody hen right now...I know I have a thermometer with a probe but I'm not sure about the hygrometer having a probe.

My thoughts exactly....might be hard to do.
Know they make an egg shaped therm, but don't think it has a hygro.
You'd need to make sure it was accurate.

I forgot about responding to this! I did check though and I only have a thermometer with a probe. I must have given away the other one I had with probes on it.

I did it with a silkie for several days once.from about day 14 to about day 19 when they started pipping.. I have a Monitor with a duel therm/hygrometer probe. Temp varied from about 95° to about 99° Depending on time of day. Humidity was around 55% and varied a few percentage points through the day. She hatched around 80% that set
