I would highly suggest running the salt test on the hygrometer. They do loose accuracy and brand new doesn't mean anything. My brand new thermometer ended up being 6 degrees off! Cost me my very first hatch. :-(
48 eggs digital incubator's humidity level is too high!

Salt test ???
My thermometer/hygrometer isn't new the incubator is that's why I can't understand the humidity is 60%+
I will invest in another hygrometer/thermometer I reckon from tescos
Yes, you can do a salt test on it to check it's accuracy and see if and how far off it is. The salt test is supposed to be the accurate wy to test.Salt test ???

Hatching
i have the same incubator and it does the same thing. add little bit of water n humidity goes to 99%
The probe is only reading the temp. inside incubator. the humidity is read from back of unit.
if u unplug the probe and place unit inside, will see the RH. of the Incubator.
It happened to me> I could not get the Humidity up. Then it hit me. I blew on the back of the temp and humidity reader and the numbers increased with my warm breath.
then I thought holly crap I've been drowning the eggs for 10 days. I placed unit inside and the RH was at 95%.
I dumped the water and started from scratch.
readings were then true.
THE AIR SACS THEN BEGAN TO DEVELOP.
