Morning all. 
First time hatcher here so I may be being a little over cautious but the incubator I have (brand new) is a Janoel 12 although barely holds 12 silkie eggs, is reading 37.5, and in the booklet says it is pre set to this temp. It feel pretty warm to the touch and it is doing its thing. Egg are going onto day 3 (put in Tues 9pm) I was reading that it is best to double check the temp so I bought a small temp/humid gauge and popped that in last night and this morning it is reading 33c with 55% humidity but the incubator is still reading 37.5c. Any suggestions will be great, thanks. I do not know now which one is reading correctly. I can buy another but not until tomorrow. What do I do? Are the eggs ruined now or........
