I went out and bought a temp/humidity gage from Petco. I set some expensive eggs in my little giant incubator. They started to develope but in a two week window they died one by one. The temp gage read 99.5 humidity 60 percent. So I bought the little giant thermometer and put it in just to see what it read. To my horror it was reading 103.9 so I killed the batch on this other stupid reptile temp and humidity gage. But my point is weird how at this temp they managed to still develope to between 7 to even 12 days. I thought they couldn't last even a hour at that temp? Cindy
Not only is calibrating a good idea, but having two or three small thermometers in your bator at one time gives you a little more confidence that your temps are in the range they need to be. Sorry you lost your chickies.
