incubator help

[idahosox]

I need some advice, I have an older sportsman cabinet with double wafers, the thermometer is basically even with the top shelf (constructed that way) it says 99 I put a another with magnetic back on the center shelf and it says 101, which one of these am I suppose to follow, I have been hatching but having problems with really low hatch and this last batch hatched on day 19 that means it is too hot correct? I am at a lost with the hatching, I did lockdown humidity at 50 then upped it to 65 for last 3 days, now out of 33 eggs I had 13 clear eggs and I see one that just never finished developing, today is the 48 hour mark (after day 21) is there something I can try - look for - change? I do want to note these were eggs that were shipped to me, I am going to collect eggs out of my barnyard mix and try them to see if something else will work before I put more orps in thanks for the help in advance

Definately trust the lower thermometer - heat rises - it is not cooler on the top rack than the middle rack. They may be the same temp - but its not cooler.

Turn down the heat a tad - that should help.
