I am looking to buy a better type incubator but need one that helps with high humidity. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Ok I have lost this batch of eggs. I never could get the humidity down. So now I am looking at incubators that are able to control the humidity. What would be a good one to invest in? I do know I will not buy another starfoam one though in the fall I have had fairly good sucess with this...

I am on day 13th and my humidity continues to run about 65 percent. I have tried everything I could to bring it down. I have not added any water to the incubator but have been told that I should go ahead and add water. This is a starafoam incubator and I understand it is extremely hard to...

I set a broody buff orphington on 10 eggs. One day another hen laid in her nest. On the 13th day I checked the eggs and all was fine. I did not check on the 14th day but on the evening of the 15th day I check on her eggs while she was off the nest. She only had 8 eggs. The eggs were not...
