Thermometer innacuracies

[AimsChickies]

Hello All,

Just returned to hatching (and this forum) after a LOOOOONG hiatus. Got some new eggs this week and set up my incubator....My problem is I have a pretty big difference in temperatures across the board with my digital thermometers. I put two in there and they were way off from each other 3-4 degrees. So now I have 3 in there and all three say vastly different numbers. Anyone else experience this? Im a little afraid to set my eggs because i have no idea what the temperature actually is!

It has happened to me. I suggest that you sychronize your thernometers and hygrometers. Here are some guides for these:

Pm me if you have any questions or need any help doing this. (also if you can calibrate your cooking thermometer and lay it beside the dibital, you'll get a great comparison!
