Temp Variation & Still Air Bator

[rehric00]

I am adjusting the temp of my incubator- hoping to set the eggs tomorrow

The built in digital thermometer is reading higher than my good old fashioned "non-digital" thermometer. That being said, the sensor for the built in one is very close to the heating element. The other thermometers are in the back corners. The digital is reading 101.4ish- the ones in the back are reading ~94-96.

Is this sufficient? I plan on putting the eggs not too close to the middle, but not too close to the edge either.

These are also shipped eggs that have been sitting for a few days- pointy side down. I plan on turning by hand bc I will be doing a staggered hatch and dont want to mess with the automatic turner.

Why can't you put the other right with the sensor to compare---let the sensor lay on them------we can not answer that question because we do not know which one is close/right. 94/96 is way to low.
