Homemade incubator thermometer.

[Valeriemichelle]

Help me out.

Do you think I can rely on this thermometer in my incubator? How do I know if its accurate?

if i were u i'd buy it. but i normally keep two to three thermometers to an incubator. they will read differently but find the average . in this way you are better able to gauge the correct temperature of ur eggs !

I already bought the thermometer. Thats why i was asking if I could rely on it because the digital ones reading like 101-98 and my regular one is reading like 102-96


How do you average it?

 

[bahamas]

to average add all the temperatures respectively togetther and divide by the amount of numbers u added respctively like if my meat thermomtre i put in the bator read 100.8 and the oral thermomter read 102.4 and the indoor thermomter reads 98 add and u get 301.2 so divide that by three beacuse u added 3 numbers and u get ..... 100.39 degree. and thre u have it you egg realted maths lesson !
