    Can't get my humidity up, and they are piping. HELP!

    It is going good so far. 5 have hatched, with at least 6 more pipped. My humidity still reads 45%, but all the towels are wet and I have condensation on the lid, so I'm pretty sure my gauge is wrong.

    Thanks for the reply! I did have a little sandwich box lid with water in it too. 2 chicks just hatched, so hopefully they will help the humidity rise. They are a day early...one has a little yolk not absorbed yet, hopefully it can as it dries and it will be OK. The other one is perfect.

    Perfect, I will sop up the water and run it for another day dry before adding eggs. So I'm looking for 30% humidity?

    Thanks so much for the reply. How does one lower humidity? Try to get some water out? Get all the water out and just toss in a damp sponge instead of putting water in the tray?

    Hi guys! I have been away from this board for a while, been mostly on the FB version. We started out with wanting 3 chickens a year ago. Since then our 3 grew in a big way, I now have about 20 chickens, a house on 10 acres and a horse, pigs, rabbits and goats. Chicken math worked hard and fast...
