Brinsea 20 Eco problems... Help!

[sben451]

Do you have a hygrometer in the Brinsea so that you know the actual humidity inside the incubator?

My new Brinsea Eco 20 shows the thermometer to be at 100. However, I just purchased a thermo/hygrometer on ebay and it shows 95!! I know you are supposed to check the temp using a thermometer you trust, but I didn't have one. The Brinsea therm. is inside the lid, the new one is resting on the eggs.

TIA,

Becky

Thank you everyone for the advice. A little update. I had six chicks hatch. Not the best, but all the chicks are healthy. One hatched on day 25. Next hatch I have I will raise the temp. I still have a couple eggs I am waiting on that were put in two days later. This has been the most stressful hatch. I am constantly checking that bator as soon as they go into lock-down. I feel like I need a vacation. I have more eggs to hatch though. The baby chicks make it all worth while.
