Throw both of them in the catch all drawer and go to Wal Mart and get at digital thermeter combo. This will give you both the temp and humidity.

I had one around the house so I didnt have to buy one luckily. I never calibrated it though. It sounded too difficult!

I dont remember the name of it but you get it at Walmart for like 7 - 10.00 , located in the hardware section.

For incubating chickens i keep the humidity around 40 and never let it fall below 25 , yes you add warm water if humidity starts falling to get it back to around 40 , i add it through the vent hole.

The thermometer stays in the incubator the whole time while incubating and hatching , i just lay mine on top of the eggs so you can see it through one of the windows.

I up the humidity at 18 days to 60 - 65 for hatch

Hope that helps you some .

P.S. - The thermometer is called Spingfield Precise Temp , i ran to look
