Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

SM, so so sorry. Don't give up, let's go over your set up and what you do from day one forward. Give me all the details from brand of bator, still air or forced air, temps and humidity.

Have you ever calibrated your thermometer and hydrometer? If not there is a starting point as they aren't ever really accurate out of the box. They need checked again each year before you set eggs in the spring.

We run a digital version that plugs into a mini laptop via USB to read and record info. But we also have two back ups also to cross check.


Marty... Thank you. Hubby is medical corp in the Air Force and I am a veterinary back ground so I tend to be a stickler for set up, care, cleaning and handling. After all we are only as good as your system and set up.
 
X2 especially on accuracy of thermometer & hygrometer & making sure you put bator in room with most stable environment. I bought 6 different sets and placed them all in bator together. I kept the ones that matched up and returned the ones that didn't.

I don't have a reliable thermometer or hygrometer. What do you use?

I have 2 aquarium thermometers. I also have a digital thermometer/hygrometer and I use a medical mercury thermometer to check with them all to make sure they are reading correctly at the beginning of incubation, although I don't leave it in there because it's mercury.
 
X2 with Julie.... some of the aquarium thermometers are very good, and that is what I used to judge the digital (and the others).
