I am thrilled with how our first hatching is going! we are early morning of day 21 and I have over 50% of my hatch already out and healthy!
We dry incubated at 16% humidity with no water added then filled reserves and added a sponge in a water dish and I have been fighting to keep it below 70%
No stuck babies yet either!

Congrats. I use the dry method as well, I only run 100% dry if it stays above 25% though. If it's not at 25% I add a damp sponge. I prefer the dry incubation much more than the standard incubation. I strive for 70-75% at hatch and don't usually have a problem hitting that either.

Congrats. I've been contemplating raising my humidity to 40 % until lock down. Someone, please talk me out of it! I think I definitely need to get it higher during lock down.
