Marked my EHAL eggs and set in to coolers for hatching, and filled the trays up again in the cabinet!!!

Morning all. It's not very often I wish I could embed a scent in my posts but this morning my place smells wonderful. Imagine cool crisp air after a few days rain mixed with orange blossoms and a little whiff coming from the jasmine.

I currently have my eggs on day 14 and the humidity is at 30%. The air space in the egg looks like a 7 day old egg. Shall I lower the humidity?

YESS

Sally you can take me out of the list! My hatchi has finished 83% hatched!

ok!!!!

I am really perplexed. A year or 2 ago I ordered a Brinsea Spot Check. When it arrived I tried to use it and wasn't having any luck. It either wouldn't read the temp ( it would just flash for a bit & then turn off) or it would start to read the temp & then shut off. I figured I just didn't know how to interpret the directions. I really prefer the written word directions instead of the newer picture type direction. Anyway, I just set it aside and figured I would figure it out later. So for the Easter HAL I got it back out and was having the same results. I finally decided to try a new battery and that seemed to help. But the temps it read were stable for a while around 99 point something and then one morning it was at 104.5! The other thermometer ( red mercury type ) was only a degree higher.
Now the Brinsea is back to giving me trouble. It will just flash L while the other thermometer is reading 100 and the one on the bator says 96. I don't know what to think. I really don't think my bator is so cool that the Brinsea can't read it! Since lockdown is in 3 days, I'm just leaving things as they are. I did look through the links & notes pages trying to see if there was a way to calibrate or ice water test the Brinsea or something, but I didn't find anything. (What I found basically said leave it alone, it's calibrated great from the factory).

Most of my own eggs were clears ( I wasn't sure any would be fertile as it was), but I do have 15 or 16 eggs that belong to a friend in the incubator (along with 4 or 5 of my own), So I am really hoping that we get a fairly decent hatch from hers. But I'm so perplexed, I just don't know!

Any words of wisdom? Or pointing me in the right direction? I know the Brinsea Spot checks are suppose to be really good ( at least that;s what I thought), so is it still user error on my part?

Thanks for any help you can give!

My spotcheck is off by 2 degress
