help with humidy levels

Okay I set the eggs today. Now I am confussed looks like my humidy is staying around 39% Now I still have the red holes in the Hova Bator are still plugged and I have a spong and the water in the bottom. What should the humidity be? Now the other problem how do you waite 21 days?????? This is addicting

Chel how did you know? I guess that is the hardest part when beginning all of this. When I get up in the night the first place I go is to check the bator then in the morning then off to the barn...This is addicting....

Don't laugh I had a thermostat that I had outside with a inside outside reader and put the wireless modual in there....it may not even work......

What do ya'll do?

I need all the help I can get...and I may have a broody hen. One our horse got injured in all the mud so we have been out rearranging the stalls and threw a tarp over a barrel hay feeder for the horses and today while I was out there something moved and I looked under it and it was one of my hens and she was still in there several hours later. I looked tonight when I locked up and she was on her roost (the rafters in barn) and there was not an egg. Do think she was just cold???

I am going to get another thermometer/hygrometer today. I candled the eggs and only had two clear from my little flock I have been gathering. I now have some other eggs I purchsed so I do hope this goes well.

The hen has not gone broody and they have all moved their laying spot from the nesting box to my hay stack. It is fine where they are and all three are laying in their little nest. I added some faux eggs to see if they will sit. We will see..........
