Can you just tell me? I'm lazy. :D

That should be your next assignment then, would be nice to actually know how much humidity is under the hen when nearing hatch date!

But.... what is the humidity under a broody hen though? I mean, I don't get it..... do we really need high humidity for hatching because I highly doubt eggs under a hen gets to 70% or 80% or whatever ridiculously high percentage humidity that is recommended and they all hatch fine! I think...

So, since my incubator's humidity won't go past 40%........ do you think the eggs can still hatch fine or no? And do you think I can maybe spray the eggs down or dampen it with a wet sponge / cloth to give it some moisture to absorb?

I have increased the surface area by adding a snap-on lid which is about 8" x 6" in area, but still the humidity won't go past 40%! It's the styrofoam that is absorbing the humidity and passing it though to the outside, that is the problem.

I'm almost to lock down, a few more days to go...... just preparing my incubator for when I need to raise the humidity but it won't go past 40%! :( I'm assuming it should be OK though, right? If that is all you have to work with.

I can't seem to get my homemade incubator's humidity past 40%.......... do you think that will be sufficient enough as far as bare minimum goes for when the eggs are supposed to hatch?
