hi everybody
...
I'm planning to setup an incubator that I got from a friend, the incubator model is JN5-60.
I also have a thermometer for showing the humidity ( it also shows the temperature).
from what I have been reading, I'm supposed to set the temperature to 37.5 C for the first 18 days but when I turn the incubator on and set the temperature to 37.5 my other thermometer shows 4 C higher (42) and I have to set the temperature to 34 for my thermometer to shows the temperature 37.5-38

my question is which thermometer I can trust ? (incubator thermometer or my other thermometer)

thank you.






 
You will need to calibrate the thermometers to determine which, if either, is accurate. There are several methods to do this - you can find information here on BYC with a search or on the wider web as well and decide which method is best suited to you and the devices you are testing.

I have one of those digital hygrometer/thermometers... and I don't believe the reading on them at all... I got a mercury thermometer and it reads the same as my incubator
