Topic of the Week - Incubating eggs

The Celsius reading took some getting used too.

Random question. When you have an automatic turner do all the eggs need to be taken out of it and laid on their sides after lockdown?

I quite like this one:

First off I never tried to indicate that this was some kind of gold standard scientific instrument. I just thought it might be helpful for people to use as a inexpensive backup to the main thermometer for less than five bucks delivered . When not at high humidity during lockdown as it is pictured above I run my incubator around 35% humidity and this cheap thing runs side-by-side same measurements with my Inkyu therm plus thermometer hygrometer Why on Earth would you need to read below 10% humidity while incubating. Even people using dry incubation method is because their relative humidity in their home is 20% or more. I don't think I've never heard anybody recommend any part of the incubation to be less than 20% humidity

For the price I think I would use them.

Yikes... I'm using an incutherm right now...

Quote: The one that is way off is the one in the incubator. actual humidity is probably between the two IncuTherms.

I agree a picture is worth a thousand words

All joking aside you clearly have some really nice equipment it makes me jealous. I was just trying to show people where they could find a piece of equipment that was super cheap and somewhat functional you know for the people out there trying to incubate with a lamp and a shoebox

My incutherm plus doesn't jive with my mechanicals

I tend to trust this one the most
