    Help! I can't get humidity above 40%

    one of the eggs is starting to rock around a bit - would that indicate that it might be close to pipping? I've read on other threads that humidity isn't a factor until pipping begins.

    Help! I can't get humidity above 40%

    My very first incubated eggs went into lockdown today. I have an LG still air incubator. I put paper towels into the reservoir and filled them with water at about 4:00 this afternoon. The humidity has risen from 39% to 40% - THAT'S ALL! What do I need to do?

    Do I need an egg turner?

    that is genius So if I understand correctly, you leave the eggs in a carton - big end up - and rotate the carton a few times a day? What do you do at lockdown? Can the chicks hatch IN the cartons?

    I do not know how many days it took to collect today's shipment of eggs, I will PM the seller to find out. The eggs that are arriving next week were collected over 3 days (wed. thurs. friday) and shipped today - so with USPS will not be here until the new work week begins.
