I am incubating for the first time. I opted to just get a cheap incubator for now, so I got the hovabator still air one. I purchased a digital thermometer/hygrometer with a probe and tested it against my big (and expensive) indoor/outdoor weather station. The temp and humidity of both were the same, and the temp has been close to the chepie one that came with the incubator- so they are probably close to be ing accurate. This am, the humidty level in my incubator was 67%! (I am currently on day 4) I quickly poured out all of the water in the incubator and left a few paper towels in there to absorb moisture. Is there anything else I can do to drop the humidity? How bad will this hurt my babies? I candled a few of the white ones last night and saw some veins! That is so neat to see.
