Temperature too high

[FourandSix]

I have three thermometers in the incubator, an Accurite, Incutherm, and a digital oral thermometer for fevers. I have the oral one in a water wiggler, and it’s been reading from 99.8 to 100.8, while the accurite and built in thermometer have almost always read 99.5, and the incutherm has often been too high as well. Should I trust the oral thermometer the most since it’s in the water wiggler? I’ve tried to bring down the temperature but nothing is working. I’m worried that the internal temp of the eggs will be too high once I set them tonight. I have an Incuview incubator.

Oral thermometers are the most trustworthy, because they're calibrated for a very narrow range (though they don't function as well outside 97-103 F.) Not sure what you mean by a water wiggler. The inbuilt thermometer is rarely very accurate. I would trust the oral one.

Are you using a forced air or a still-air incubator?

It’s a forced air incubator
