I bought a Hova-Bator incubator. Got it with an automatic egg turner and fan. It also has a temperature probe cord that allows you to read the gauges from outside. I have it set to be 99.5 and its perfect for heat wise. But I'm finding out for ducks that humidity needs to be 86% from day 1 to day 25 . And then not to mention after that a whopping 94% humidity. I live in the mountains so its not very Humid. I went out and bought a humidifier to see if it will help and the gauge has not changed. And the humidifier is blowing directly on the incubator. I have all the water trays filled in the Hova-Bator. Is there anything more I can do? If I need to get the humidity up then something needs to change. I wont be able to really do anything about the ambient temperature. And Moving it is out of the question. It is in the hottest most stuffy area possible. I'd like to turn it hotter but that'll make my temp go too high.
