How Do I read the Humidity?

[Chicks_N_Horses]

I have a hova-bator 1602N ... still air I believe

It has a thermometer in it but how am I susposed to know where to keep my humidity at?

Do I have to buy something else to read it or tell by the thermometer?

go to wal- mart you want a hydrometer mine was like 6.50 its a small white square it tells you temp & humidity

online @ ebay its 13.99 i just got 2 of the same model and if you call the # on the paper that came w/it you can get the fan for 33.00 you will need ventilation is key, jen

You can use a hydrometer to read the humidty there is a whole section on how to hatch eggs so probably it can help you with your humidty problems:
