Hey guys,
I have my new Genesis set up and running. I know it's pre-set. I know I should leave it alone. I know it says that it is often more accurate than the thermometer that it comes with, so you should not go by that and think that the temp is off. I know I should plug it in, add water and eggs, and walk away.
BUT. The two thermometers I have in there both say that it is at 101 degrees. Honestly, I've tried expensive thermometers, but I keep coming back to the cheap ones that GQF sends with the incubators--I've found that the analog thermometers are more accurate. So that's what I have in there, 2 analog thermometers. I've hatched sucessfully with these thermometers--I've trusted them before, but that doesn't mean that they are correct.
What do I do? I really have to get eggs in the bator this afternoon!! But I don't want to go messing with the pre-set temps on this bator if I'm just going to go screwing things up! Do I trust the 'bator?? I'm really fed up with my old hova bator, I don't want to put the eggs in that one.
