I'm at work. Better than staring at the 'bator wondering which thermometer is  off. I have 2 of the glass aquarium thermometers and the 1 digital thermo/hygro in there. I did do the ice bath for the 2 glass ones, and they seem right on. But the digital runs about 3 degrees higher than the glass. It's so hard to look and not touch when my brain keeps questioning things! I may have to get electrical tape and put over the digital temp read so I'm not tempted to mess with the temp.

I love this video!! It's helped me really get my thermometer to calibrate accurately.

Home, home on the range where the chickens and ducks are sqwaking all day, where toddlers are heard and dirt is disturbed, egging and farming all day... ( I had an urge to poultry nerd for a moment, excuse me, thank you.)

Yes but the digital thermometer is not a probe type, so doing icebath for that will not help. I should have gotten the probe one. Oh well. We'll see in about 3 weeks wont we? LOL

Yeah, I meant for the glass ones. I had calibrated mine, just by filling a cup with ice and water and mine was off by a degree. Then when I followed those directions on that video for the ice bath and I checked them, they were dead on! So it really makes a difference with how you do the ice water. I thought that was so interesting!
