is it okay to use a digital hygrometer in incubator?

[STEPHANIELAUREN]

i just ordered some eggs off ebay and i already have my incubator & thermometer but i still need to order my hygrometer im looking at an lcd screen thermometer /hygrometer in one is it possible to use that?

I dont see why not. Just calibrate them so you know how accurate your readings are.

Ditto what Bosque said.

Compare the thermometer portion of the unit with a medical thermometer (the kind you check for a fever with).

For the hygrometer check them using the "wet salt" method. Do a search for that here on BYC.

Here's a thread I started (but haven't finished) dealing with the digital units: Wallyworld Digital Thermometers/Hygrometers

Best wishes!

Hi,

I have 2 and they see very accurate, each one varies a little from the other but they are close.
