WHAT KIND OF HYGROMETER DO YOU USE??

[muscovy94]

Hey everyone I am in the market to buy a hygrometer so I can have a better hatch rate(Iv been hatching for years but just realized the importance of correct humidity) so I am wanting everyone who has a hygrometer to tell me what kind it is, and where they got it from(preferably a digital one) and tell me how accurite it is.

Thanks so much!!!!

just thought I would bump it up to the top!

ETA:
Remember the rules: No bumping.

I don't use one. If I really want to know humidity, I just use wet bulb/dry bulb charts. I don't watch it while incubating eggs, just watch air cell develop.

We have found this to work fine

I got one from Petco(not digital) we haven't tested it yet but it should work well i'm hoping!

I think radio shack may have one??? or a tracker supply place?

We use the digital Acu-rite thermometer/hygrometer from Tractor Supply.It seems accurite.Cost was only like 10.00.

That's what I use also, but I have 2 in the bator at the same time just to check them against each other to make sure they are accurate. So far, so good.

I use the Springfield Model. It has temp and humidity on it. Like $7 at walmart. It's in the electrical/ thermometer isle...
I use two during a hatch and generally they are very close to each other. My hatches are pretty good % too
