Temperature and humidity completely off

[Lili27]

I bought the nurture right 360 and did a test with one egg. I’m on day 24 and finally there is an internal piping. The incubator temperature was set at 99.5F and humidity at 65% (lockdown) but I added two other hygrometers/ thermometers inside to compare and the temperature is off by 4 degrees and the humidity by 8%. I ended up bumping the temperature and left the humidity the way it is since the external ones are reading 72%. Is it a common issue with this incubator? Should I return it or just stick with it and calibrate/ deal with it? I know if I have a late hatch it’s because the temperature is too low, so I’m pretty positive the incubator is at fault.

Did you calibrate the thermometers you used before going off their readings?

 

[Lili27]

No I didn’t. I just bought them and added them inside the incubator. Both of them have the same reading. The incubator is the one that is completely off and because I have a late hatch, I’m pretty sure the incubator is the culprit.

Ok good deal.
