Well... I think I killed all my eggs. 😭 I got the ZooMed hygrometer/thermometer today. The humidity was right at about 35% in spite of what the wet bulb/dry bulb readings were. But, it said the temp was 107😱😭😭😭 The dry bulb thermometer was at 99. So at this point I am thinking & feeling that...
I did trace the air cell on the 3 eggs I weighed. After I read your first post and understood what I was aiming for with humidity I figured some sort of measurement to track change from would be helpful even if it wasn’t my pre-incubation baseline. I will candle & weigh them again on day 7...
Ok, I weighed 3 eggs tonight (I have 3 breeds in the incubator so one of each.) Is there an average number of grams per day of loss perhaps? I understand it is a percentage of the pre-incubation weight that is expected to be lost, buuuut I just wondered. I also candled the 3 I weighed & I think...
Thank you. That makes perfect sense. That article was helpful too. I didn’t know about weighing the eggs. I am in So Cal and it is dry here.
I would still be interested in hearing from someone who has experience with this particular incubator as well.
Meh. Not really. I’m just waiting for the hygrometer to arrive. I’ve been taking the eggs out in the AM & PM & physically looking at the water level in the incubator. But I don’t really know what the “right” amount should be. There is still a little condensation on the top of the incubator so I...

I cannot get the wet bulb reading to go below 87f. Yesterday evening had crept up to 92f. I used a paper towel to...
