Hey everyone,
Looking for some advice, I bought a brinsea advance 20 incubator turner and humidity pump from a guy who use to breed chickens he quit and gave up hatching for people so he decided to sell it. I got it it worked great ran it twice with no eggs so I put 24 barred rocks in the humidity was at 44-45 % during the trial runs soon as I added eggs eggs for my first hatch it would go over 38% with the pump for 18 hours no matter how constant the pump ran but if I added a little to the incubator it jumped to 55 % I'd take the water back out of the incubator it came back down to 38% and the pump would kick on. The next day it went up to 45% and has stayed there since. Is it possible that it was air locked ? Looking for some help.
Thanks
