Hi all!
So my shipped Rouen duck eggs came in yesterday. I let them settle and put them in the incubator today. I am having trouble having all my thermometers and hydrometers get calibrated. I have 4 thermometers (plus the one that comes with the still air incubator, but we all know those are not accurate). They ALL read different. They are ranging from 94 to 102 degrees. And same with the hydrometers. I have two in there (plus the one that comes with the incubator) and they range from 30% to 60%. . I have taken them out and laid them side by side on my kitchen counter and there, they read exactly the same. In the incubator, they are only about an egg or two apart, how is there a huge difference in temperature and humidity levels? At some point, they were at 10% I live in South Florida, where it is always humid. Does the 10% makes sense?
I ordered some more thermometers off amazon today, as well as hydrometers. I probably have like five different things coming tomorrow and Friday. Which ones do you guys personally recommend? Also, would it be better if I buy a small fan to put in the incubator? If so, which ones do you all recommend that I can buy off amazon and is pretty affordable?
Thank you all in advance. This is very frustrating.
