is this a good one to use for incubation readings?

[hdowden]

is it accurat and were should i put it? i havent gotten the eggs yet and they are being shipped tomorrow so right now its sitting on the automatic turner shoud i move it to the top of the eggs or leave it were it is and what temp should it be reading were it is at?

i know its low right now i just turned it on again so its gotta warm up and all will let you know what temp it is sitting at in the morning

Personally I dont like that kind of thermometer

is reads very good the temperature but is way off on the humidity

I have 3 of them all 3 have same issue


Make sure you test it before using it

you can read about hydrometer test here

I have one of these and my hatch date is 10/21 but I'm going to something different...I just don't trust it....but a breeder of show chickens did recommend it to me and she is getting almost 100 percent hatches with them....so I don't know....

the temp seems correct just worried about the humid. it seems off to me.

There is a thread on here somewhere how to calibrate a hydrometer....see if you can find it....then you will know for sure....as soon as my hatch is out I am going to try it also...
