Hi i have put in some duck eggs in my incubator, what humidity reader do you use, i had one that i bought off ebay a couple of years ago but now it does not work, i will need to get another one and wanted to find out what you all use and found to be good and reliable.

thank you Foxy that looks like a good one, i am going to get two and make sure the humidity is right, i just keep going up and checking all the time worried that the humidity is wrong. I have been looking at buying a R-Com 20 it has automatic humidity built into the incubator, i have the brinsea at the moment. Have you heard good reports on the R-Com 20. thanks again.

I have heard the R-com 20 to be a very efficient machine. I have not used one, I am sure some of the members here may have some experience and could comment.
I have used with great success the Rcom King Suro, the poor cousin to the R-com 20. I now use a MS incubator and they are fantastic!

hi all got an rcom last year only thing you need to be careful with is the surounding air temp make sure its not to low or you will have problems maintaining inside temp and humidity and realisticly any more than twelve eggs and its overcrowded all the best uncle fox

r-Com 20, imho, is the best small bator on the market.
I've still got mine from when they first appeared and would'nt sell it for the world, it still comes into service occasionally when the big machine is overflowing.
