I have searched and can't find the answers.

1) Link to site for better Thermometers and Hygrometers. There was one site that a few people listed.

2) "Recipe" for calibrating hygrometers

3) Best candler

Calabrating hydrometer-from Speckledhen.

1. You can calibrate a hydrometer by mixing in a bowl 1/2 cup of salt in 1/4 cup water. Actually a couple TBSP of salt moistened with water is enough.
2.Place bowl inside a zip lock baggie with your hydrometer. After at least 8 hours, your hygrometer should read 75%.
3. If it says, for example 80% you know that it is reading 5% to high and then you can make adjustments in your readings.

To check thermometer accuracy:

Thanks Farmer Kitty! This time I copied onto Word......

I have 3 or 4 digital ones, but getting ready to start up the bator and want to make sure they are as accurate as they can be.
