I'm picking up dozens of eggs this weekend and I've got my incubators on so I can determine if I'm getting the right temperature, etc. I have an old hovabator that needs a fan installed and a borrowed Reptipro 5000. I have two analog hygrometers, one analog "incubation thermometer", two digital thermometer/hygrometer combinations and one "egg-ometer". With the exception of the two analog hygrometers, EVERYTHING is reading something different, and are off by 10 degrees plus. I finally decided to try putting cups of water in the incubators to see if I can use a regular digital thermometer to get a read on ambient temp, but I don't even know for sure that this thermometer is accurate either, so it may be pointless.
Do you all have any ideas on what I can do to figure out what the temperature actually is in the incubator? And is there something special I need to do to the hygrometers to make sure they are accurate.
