I’m incubating duck eggs.
My incubator’s display says it is 37.5-37.6 degrees Celsius. I used a human mercury thermometer set at egg level to compare - and it says it is 37.1 Celsius. (I do not have any ice to calibrate the mercury thermometer, and I can’t use boiling water because it doesn’t have the range for that)
I’m getting some digital reptile thermometers on Monday, and will calibrate them.
So my question: Should I keep trusting the incubator, or trust the mercury thermometer?
Can’t wait for my thermometers to arrive on Monday!!!
