First Time Egg Candler Scared!

[AmyLynn2374]

Hey guys so I tested the accuracy of my 3 hermometers. The Incutherm Now seems just really messed up it didnt even get below 45. My thermometer that was reading 97 read 32, and the one reading 98 read 33 so it lines up. So I am calibrating my incubator to line upp with the thermometer that read 32, does this sound like what I should do. I am guessing the incutherm with probably read 102-103ish range

Perfect. I would just hide/throw out get the incutherm out of the picture at this point and use the two that are showing accurate.

Ok, So if I get rid of Incutherm, I have 2 glass thermometers both reading 99, and an oral thermometer reading 100.5. This seems good to me. How about you?

actually oral is reading more like 101, do -.5 one way and +1.5 is the range. Sound good?

xs 2 Go by the two that tested right.

I put a shelfing mat on the bottom of the incubator, which is recommended correct?

I use the rubber shelf liner from the dollar store.

I believe that is what i have. It was in our laundry room cabinet from years ago it look exactly like this pic except green, is this what you use? Or what is good to use?
