My incubator is forced air.
I’m about to incubate for the third time and I really need help from experience people here. My first batch, I had 10 Guinea eggs in the incubator with three hatching and 1 had a splayed leg and walking on the knees.
My second batch I had 15 chicken eggs and three hatched but they hatched late on the 23 of incubation.
My incubator temperature was reading from 37.1 to 37.6. Humidity was around 50% for the first 18 days and 65 to 70 on lockdown.
I have two new different digital thermometers that reads different from the inbuilt incubator thermometer.
I need help on which one is most accurate so I can focused on for my next batch of eggs.

You have two saying it's 34C if I read those right. I would trust them. I have an NR360, and three Brinsea 56 EXs, and out of four of them, only one is right.
 
Yes the other are reading the 34C. Do I need to adjust my incubator temperature?
Yes. I'd turn it down nearly 3 degrees, so your new ones read 37.5 or real close to that.

Let's hope that was your issue in the past!!

Wishing you a great hatch!
