Help!
Eggs are in lock down and hopefully I can make this make sense. I have 3 extra thermometers in my incubator, One is a Accurite thermometer/hygrometer, one is a regular thermometer and the other is a accurite thermometer. The hovabator itself is reading 99, the plain thermometer is reading 99 and the accurite thermometer is reading 99. However, the thermometer/hygrometer combo is reading 97%! Each thermometer is sitting in a different corner so I can get a reading all over the bator, the thermometer/hygrometer combo is in the farthest right corner.
ALSO, The hovobator itself is reading 44% humidity and the thermometer/hygrometer is reading 55% humidity, I notice it stays ALWAYS 10 degrees difference.

What would you think? Do? I candled and every single one has movement, 3 did not but one I couldn't even see in but do see proper air cell, veining, fullness where the chick should be etc,.. and the other two I just didn't see movement and I was in a hurry because I know their temp was dropping quick. I'm so close, don't want to mess this up. Getting so nervous and worried with the temp craziness I've had the last few days I could lose them.
Do you think I should open QUICKLY and switch thermomters around and see what readings I get? Just to be sure.

what u dont have one?:

I don't have one.... I have one silkie egg in the bator on day 22 that hasn't pipped yet.... I was hoping to convince hubby to let me keep "her" when "she" hatches.... Now looking more like an IF "she" hatches

 

[Sally Sunshine]

Still just one chick... No progress on the two that pipped around 4:30 this morning.... Nothing from the others. I pulled one out really quick and candled.... Still lots of veining... Definite movement though.... Didn't want to lose humidity (I ha the hot shower running in the bathroom where the incubator is located) .... Didn't check any others.... Gonna just pray it works out....gotta buy new thermometers.... This was obviously off....

How long do I wait before attempting to assist the pips from 4:30? It's been 10 hrs

you had external pips first noticed 12 hrs ago right? Let them rest..... remember pip rest long time sometimes 24 hrs +/- then zipping is the final stage!

To be honest, not knowing how you calibrated you will have to make your best guess as to which one/s to go by! perhaps take one out and recalibrate and check it with the other that is off?

I'm planning to candle tonight. I've been meaning to do it for days, but I've been so tired. Today is no exception. I've been helping dad, my brother, and my fiance scrap out some junk we have around here. I was in charge of old power cords, computer cords, and the like. I'm going to steal some of the thick copper wire for a crown or something. I think I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do. Well, back to work for me. See y''all in a bit!

I would relax, knowing everything's goovy

If I was going to do anything I would pull all the extra thermometers out and then go have a cup of tea.
