I use one that sells in Walmart that is a thremometer/hygroometer combo. Its around $11 or so, is in the section that has outdoor thermometers. It has a probe with a wire and the main box is grey, about the size of a pack of cards.

If you want the humidity, you have to put the whole thing, including the grey box, inside the incubator. If you only want the temp, then the probe goes in, and the box stays outside. Make sure the probe is at the top of the eggs to get an accurate reading.

We have the same style right now, but the temp. hasn't been accurate. We didn't have the probe on top of the eggs though. We were worried that we may need to calibrate the hydrometer.​

I've never done anything to mine, didn't know you could calibrate it. I have 2, one in the incubator & the other in the hatcher.

Travis researched that they could be calibrated. Maybe we're over worrying.

If you are coming to the Fingerlakes Feather Club meeting on Sat. at 1pm, this is the address: 5186 St Rt 365, Verona, NY. Della Davis house

The house is yellow and it is next door to the Savon gas station that is on the corner of Rt. 365 & Patrick Rd. Verona.

If for some reason the meeting is cancelled, maybe due to snow, I'll post that it is cancelled by noon that day.

So I called Della and she says I can bring the chicks. So we're good to go. I'll bring more than the six, just in case.

I got my new business cards and posted them in Country Max and TSC. So who knows that may help move these guys/girls.

Take care

I guess the meeting is postponed due to expected bad weather on Saturday. Just wanted to post so everyone would know.
