In all honesty, I just get a regular room one from walmart and put the whole thing down in the incubator. works for me

what kind of bator do you have? if one of those styrofoam ones, its hard to keep humidity up if your in low humid area, and every time you open it to turn eggs if you dont have the turner you will lose it all, i used to put in a wet rag to keep the humidity up, never worried bout the hydro cuz i know looking at it would jus worry me the whole time.

Can you send me a link? I think analog is better than digital at least more reliable i would think??

I tried that one, but it wont work with my egg turner. it wont fit in the bator. thats why i got this one now. the cheaper one from walmart does work though. but its HUGE!

I have (a couple

) of Hovabators w/ auto turners. Our Humidity in Missouri is always high anyway. I would say a problem we have is it going too high... Even though there is an auto turner, I still open periodically to give the eggs a whiff.. I figure hens get off every now and again, it can't hurt.
My main problem is in lockdown....very very very hard for me to stay out of it... once a couple of chickies hatch out, i want to take them out, but in reality, I think with them banging the eggs around and chirping, stimulates the other chicks to hatch.

I will google and see if i can find online. Is it accurate? it seems those things are not very accurate and can mess things up in a hurry.

I am in Oklahoma so i am hoping the humidity will be in my favor yet to be seen. I would think it's pretty similar to MO since we are close

 

[chickchickchiky]

Yeah i found it on there and i can get it locally so that's cool. Question is do you rely on digital which can quit at any moment or go with old faithful that has been around forever and a day hmmm maybe both LOL
