Farm Innovator Incubator vs. Govee thermometer-.which do I go by?

[ChickenVixen01]

I need help quickly ya'll. I started intubating some eggs in a Farm Innovators digital incubator. I am also using a Govee thermometer inside of it that I have balanced on a couple of the empty egg holders in the turner that came with it. The Gove is reading at least a 2-3 degree difference than the farm.innovator. These are very expensive silkie eggs that I got from another breeder and this is my first time intubating. I REALLY need these to hatch. Which thermometer do I go by? I have been just adjusting the Farm innovators one up until the Govee is within the correct range but I am worried since that is putting the Farm Innovator incubator temp at like 102 or 102.5. Thanks ahead of time for taking the time to answer.

I have a few Farm Innovator incubators and they are off like most incubators. I use calibrated thermometers so I know what temps actually are. But a lot of folks use Govees and swear by them so I would go with that. I also have to run one of mine at 102 on incubator to get 100 actually in incubator and another at 102.5. Thats with about 70-degree ambient temps of area incubator is in.
