Zodiac Hatch-A-Long - Waxing Moon in Fruitful Signs HAL

[Junibutt]

Incubator Temp Issue:

I am on Day 4 and using a PI-24 (forced air) incubator. During Easter HAL I did not pay attention to putting multiple temp probes in different spots and I had a single Accurite temp reader that was showing 99 degrees and the incubator was showing 99.5, so I ignored it and I had 25 of 32 eggs hatch from it.

This time I have to different accurites one with a probe and other without. The probe is sitting on top of the eggs and the Accurite from previous HAL is towards the front of incubator.

• Old Accurite is still reading 99 degrees just like previous time.
• The Accurite with the probe is reading between 98 and 98.6 degrees depending on where I place the probe.
• I have increased the incubator's settings to 100.4, however it has not made much difference on the Accurites.

Shall I not worry about it since I had a good hatch last time?

OR

Shall I crank up the incubator somewhat more?

P.S I have ordered a Brinsea spot-check just to make sure.

Since you had a good hatch last time; I would leave it until the Spot-check arrives.

I'd leave it also until the spot check srrives. They're good thermometers for the first couple years. After that they go all wonky.
