Hatching

I started incubation on April 2nd. My incubator is usually between 37.5-37.7 Celsius, but the digital meat thermometer I bought today I held in the vent for 5 minutes to get an accurate result is bouncing between 96.5-97F. So now I have no idea who to trust. Eggs seem to be developing fine. Should I meet somewhere in the middle? Trust the digital meat thermometer? It is a triocottage incubator. So not top of the line. Lower end. But it is a smaller one so I thought it would be easier to maintain temp. My house is quite cold. 60-64 degrees. I'm brand new to hatching. Please help me but be gentle because I'm trying!

Meat thermometers are meant for a solid piece of something, like meat or food... not really air. I can see that your incubator thermometer is reading 37.7 degrees Celsius. I would personally trust the incubator thermometer.
That’s my two cents anyway.
 
I bought a Govee thermometer on Amazon. It was pretty accurate.

Personally I would buy some type of thermometer that I could calibrate, and then trust that rather than the incubator
