Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

That crap again. Metzer's website used to do the same thing and almost caused me to kill my first ever batch of eggs.

Those are wet bulb temperatures that someone has written out as humidity percentages. So, very, very wrong. What that should say is 86 degrees measured on the wet bulb thermometer, not 86% humidity. That's gonna ruin someone's eggs

Thanks for explaining that... it had us confused. If i didnt have someone to ask (I tried looking it up but got more confused) i probably would have upped the humidity and messed up big time...

Oh my. . ya that's a serious mistake to have on their website! I was just curious about it. So the wet bulb thing would theoretically work. . ? If you went by the thermometer reading? I found that interesting and curious how accurate it would be. Might make a fun experiment!

Theoretically it would, I've never tried it myself.

I've got three internal pips so far, all given safety holes

Wet bulb should be in degrees, not percent. It's supposed to be more accurate. I tried making a wet bulb thermometer with one of my first hatches. It worked ok, but I was using that old Chinese incubator and i had trouble with the wick.
