Please say yes!

Yes, just check it's accuracy against a good hygrometer.

Thanks for the quick response Don!
How much of a difference would it make if it was off by a couple degrees?

Hey Ticks, I actually bought one of those from TSC ! I had picked up a hydrometer from the reptile section (along with the thermostat) and then because I have everything digital, I picked this themo/hydro up and its exact with the reptile one.
Hope it helps, so far so good on my eggs

for i don't think it would work good, you can buy one at wal-mart for less than ten $, that would work better

The hygrometer/hydrometer is the round guage on the bottom and reads
in percentages. It could be off by 10% and make very little difference in
your hatch rate, unlike temperature.

My favorite hygrometer is an analog one I bought at Petsmart for $5.

It says hydrometer, is there a difference between hydrometer and hygrometer?

 

[PurpleChicken]

Hygrometer is the correct name of a device that measures
humidity or relative humidity.

A hydrometer measures weight/density of a liquid.

That device in the link is a hygrometer, not hydrometer.

I use hydrometers to check battery acid and various coolants.
