Calibrating.

[quailmama 82012]

I just set up my new incubator i got from Amazon and I dont know if it's calibrated properly. Do i have to get a separate thermometer to calibrate it or not? Also,how would i calibrate it and what thermometer do you guys recommend? Thanks.

First off, what kind of incubator do you have? I know with an old school thermo you can test how accurate they are, not sure with built in ones. here is a great article on the matter https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/testing-calibrating-incubator-thermometers-and-hygrometers.73634/

My incubator is a 32a/32S/56S egg incubator. Do you think i should get an auxiliary thermometer? Unfortunately, my incubator is in Celsius so it'd be nice anyway.

I think that it is always a good idea to get a second thermometer in the Bator, i would get one for sure.
