    which one to believe?

    I have a digital and a dial type hygromter. The digital says its 15% humidity and the dial one says 45% which one do you think I should trust? Also what % should the hygrometer be reading if I want to do dry incubation? I am so confused with the humidity side of things.

    Posted eggs

    I have just recieved some eggs through the post which look great but how may times do I turn them around when they are proped up for the first 24 hours before I put them in the incubator? Hope that makes sense.

    Humidity

    Just wanted to get everyones opinion about Humidity and see how everyone does it and there success rate as I have some eggs coming soon and I wanted to know how everyone else copes with humidity as I lost all my last eggs and I think it was to do with humidity so everyones opinions would be great.
