Looks like I need a second bator.

I tried about 4 different kinds of hygrometers last year and none lasted the season. From Walmart, the reptile kind from the pet store, etc. I finally broke down and bought a digital thermometer/hygrometer for $16.95 from Stromberg's this year. I've been using it in my cheese cave for the past few months and it's been pretty accurate and durable. The cheddar I was aging will be ready next week, so the hygrometer will get cleaned up and moved to the incubator for hatching season.

Mm cheese

Hmm! my first ever chicks are arriving April 15. My coop is not finished yet.. I own no incubator at this time... Yet I think I want to do this... Hmmmm.

Side effect of having goats = cheese. My cheese "cave" is just a modified wine fridge, but it gets the job done.
