I bought a Govee thermometer/hygrometer and it finally arrived. So far it looks like the temperature might be off by about 0.6 F (compared to the mercury oral thermometer) but I’m going to test it again later today. I did the salt calibration test on it overnight, and it is reading 74%, so that’s pretty good! It agrees with my incubator’s hygrometer, so I’m happy about that.
Of my original 48 eggs, I have 37 left. Most of the eggs that I removed were infertile, and a few looked a bit rotten, so probably poor egg quality.. All but one of the eggs that I removed were Indian Runners so I only have 12 left. I sure hope I get some to hatch!
I used a calibrated hygrometer and determined that my incubator’s humidity display is off by 1%. Surprisingly the temperature seems to be pretty accurate but I keep checking. So far I’m happy with this incubator
