    Incubated eggs are changing colors

    Honestly I'm not sure, I have 4 or 5 that look very full, and then some that about half as full,and then some even less then that. I know last year I had two females sharing the same nest. What is the best way to get the humidity down, is it as easy as not putting as much water in the unit?
