I have incubated eggs at 16% and hatched them at 16% and not lost one and I have incubated at 16% and hatched at 40% and done fine I have incubated at 40% and hatched at 40% and done fine. I have raised chickens out in the nevada and arizona desert when at the time the highest the humidity got...

this was egg101 if I thought that you were smarter it would have been egg102
