I have the standard mercury thermometer that came with the incubator,

Curious about your mercury thermometer...could you post a pic of it?
How long ago did you get your incubator, thought mercury was unlawful anymore?

I tried to use a human oral mercury thermometer lying down in incubator,
mercury just spread out.

I mean maybe it's not mercury but I'm assuming it is. This is the thermometer that came with it. The incubator was purchased early in 2016. https://www.strombergschickens.com/...uCK3qWftsmTTtDF0ogAZUF_bDhtOWEYsaAliNEALw_wcB

Ah, red is alcohol...mercury is silver.

I comparison test (or calibrate, if you insist) my bator therms against a human oral thermometer(they have a regulated tolerance range for accuracy of 0.2-0.5(IIRC) degrees) in a cup of approx. 100F cup of water. Then take the notes already mentioned for accurate readings.

Disregard my earlier question. The duck that pipped is beginning to zip.

Zip or "punching around" making hole bigger? Just checking...

Looks like a zip to me. Taking a long time but it's slowly working its way in a line around the shell.
