May I ask why? Humidity in the incubator is dependent on the surface area of the water not the depth, so I see little point to marking the water wells...
Maybe put the sponges under the vent holes and use a straw or funnel? I saw where someone had flexible tubing rigged up to go from the vent hole to the water well. I have had my lid off messing with my last ones just now and the humidity is back to 89 already so I don't worry with it. It's the end of the hatch and I have a pipper on the wrong end along with a couple that just aren't progressing I'm trying to save...
Regardless of all the nonsense hyperbole that manufactures and some others like to preach, lock down is not necessary or required but if you decide to do it, temporarily opening the incubator to add water is perfectly acceptable and won't hurt the hatch at all... If you are overly concerned with humidity getting lost, get a spray bottle, fill it with warm water and mist the incubator inside before closing...
Well none of the eggs survived the spike in temperature. I waited three days and then took them out and opened them. Out of the 23 eggs only 8 had developed, probably to the 14th day when I had the mishap. The rest were evidently not fertile as there was no development. A bummer since I paid almost $60 for the eggs. I made a couple improvements to the incubator and I think I will get some cheaper eggs for another test run until I get it right. I now have a good scientific thermometer that I trust. Question is where is the best place to put it, both in relation to height off the turner and in relation to the heating element?
