Humidity Gauge

[ChickenAndMore]

Can you use a reptile humidity gauge for incubating/hatching chicken eggs?

Don't know fore sure but what kind of incubator do you have ?

I have a Little Giant incubator.

Sure, but don't expect it to be accurate, most general purpose humidity gauges are notoriously horribly inaccurate but it at least gives you an idea...

Does it look like this ?

 

[ChickenAndMore]

Well I have one with a built in one but I don't know if it is accurate, the thermometer is off by TEN degrees.

Oh is on a little digital screen ?

I usually put half a cup of water in mine every other day and have over a 90% hatch rate every time.

No it is a little round thermometer/hygrometer. It looks like this

This is actually a farm innovators, sorry i said little giant . I do have 2 little giants though.
