Hi,
First time incubating, I got the Janoel 10. I read that you need to get a second thermometer as the built in one isn't very good, so I got an analogue one for incubators with a humidity reading too and spent two days getting the temp right at 38 (it was reading 4.5 degrees lower than my incubator's thermometer). I set a dozen eggs and was very excited.
On day three (yesterday) I got a digital thermometer and thought I'd put that in too, it is reading 41.5. So now I have three readings, 38 (analogue), 41.5 (digital) and 42.5 (incubator, allowing for temperature correction setting).
I am guessing that I have probably ruined all my eggs :-( I am also upset that I got one from an online poultry store that maybe so far out.
Anyway!
How should I go about working out which one is right?
Should I continue with the incubation as is?
Guessing I'll be starting all over again.
