How to improve hatch rates for shipped eggs

[PippinTheChicken]

do you just put the hygrometer in the incubator?

 

[PippinTheChicken]

anything else I need to put in the incubator section

 

[SpotTheCat]

any ones you would suggest

Inkbird temperature and humidity smart sensor, boxes says IBS-TH2 plus, but I can’t find it when I look it up

maybe... any cheaper ones? I don't need a fancy bluetooth one

Need a calibrated thermometer as well, unless you have one that does both temperature and humidity. Move it around when testing the incubator so you know where is cooler and where is warmer

I have some of these (I think they look the same at least) the humidity bit was great all the ones we test where exactly correct, temperature bit didn’t work as well

Cheap doesn't mean bad it's if it works. That's what matters you could get the most expensive thermometer and it doesn't keep temperature but the cheap one works for years. It's all on the manufacturing and making sure it's calibrated.
