Hello all! So, I am currently on day 20 of incubation. On day 18, I candled to find there was movement and all seemed well before lock down. I figured I would check the humidity with a digital thermometer/humidity combo instrument since I thought it may be too humid (as I have had rather humid weather lately). The water pans are filled and the humidity is reading roughly 53%. However, the thermometer I have constantly in the incubator (not digital) is reading 99.5 degrees while the digital is only reading 97 degrees! Should I be worried about this discrepancy right now? I'm tempted to raise the temp a little more, but if the digital is reading wrong, I could set the temp too high. I have not heard peeping at all yet and am already suspecting this hatch will be a day late at least. Does anyone have any advice? Please help!
