First timer here!
So I am on day 5 and we have 6 chicken eggs and 5 look fertile.
I have had problems with the humidity. It’s been too high. Anywhere from 60% to 75% over the 5 days.
I’ve now got a bit more control of the levels now.
My question is....... in order to reduce the risk of chicks being too big/drowning, should I keep the humidity lower than the recommended 50% for a few days (say 20%) to compensate and average out or should I just try and keep it constant and at the recommended 50% from now till day 18?
Thanks for any advice
