Anybody know how I can calibrate this?

I can not tell you how to do it to the thermometer side but you can stick the whole thing in a zip lock bag w salt to calibrate the humidity side.

Want better instructions?

Yes please.

Also, I think I'll around the house for a better thermometer that I can calibrate.

All are clear egg.
I can get candling pics of the two new ones if you all want. I'm waiting to put them in until I calibrate my devices. My thermometer gun is reading the egg at 98 or so, but my thermometer right behind it is reading 101. Don't know which to trust.

I think I would trust the actual thermometer more than the gun.

Okay. I'll take your word for it. Clearly I am new to the world of incubation

Large zip lock bag to a container you can close up.
Put your gauge thing in it.
Get a small dish with some salt...I used a cup of salt but was told I didn't need that much.
Add water to the salt to get it wet.
Put the salt dish in the bag next to your guage and zip it/close it.
Walk away...go to sleep actually.
In the morning look at the humidity level it is reading.
If it is perfect it will read 75% humidity.

If it reads lower or higher...we will do that math in the morning.

I am going to take a wild guess here and say it is always safer for the temperature to be slightly lower.
If it is slightly higher I think if becomes more dangerous.

Think this:
The momma bird gets up to eat/poop right?
Each time she gets up the temp has to drop a little...it does not raise higher.

YES get pics of all the eggs each day!
