Too much humidity?

[cowchick11]

Been collecting my eggs all week (and turning them) and doing my test run/set up with the incubator today.

Unplugged it, cooled down added water, got the turner and eggs in and got the turner going again. No heat at this time as I will not get it up to heat until late tomorrow. However, I am already up to 80% humidity!

Is there such a thing as too much? I have two gauges and they are within 3% of each other. This is with no heat! What do you think?

yeah i think they say 40% at first then up to 50% before hatch but not sure what damage it'll do

Run your bator with the vents open or the lid slightly open until time to put your eggs in. That should help you get your humidity down.

Days 1-18......... 30-35% Humidity.
Days 19-Hatch.. 67-70% Humidity.
