    I remember him saying, but I couldn't understand what he was talking about when he did...lol

    No, it's just two different convos. If 16% works for you that's great, keep going with it. I always say do what works for you regardless of others, but Kathy was asking pertinent questions on personal thoughts of humidity so those were being shared as well.

    Help! first time hatching!

    Dehumidifier supposedly work to take the humidity out of a room. I know people that have had success using unpopped pop corn and the silcon packets....but then again I've seen people have success with the rice too....lol My last fall hatch w/the wood pellet stove running I was only getting 16%...

    Help! first time hatching!

    That's the problem with the term "dry" incubation. Sometimes it is taken too literally. I prefere the term "low humidity incubation". Some people can run dry and still have 25-40%. I only run completely dry if it stays above 25%, if not I add a sponge, but it is still considered dry because of...

    Help! first time hatching!

    I, personally won't run lower than 25% humidity for the duration of my hatches. From some of the reading I've done and what my brain tells me, is if it is too dry for the duration of the incubation, you can end up with membranes that are tougher to pierce. I don't know how accurate and true it...

    If you can decrease the humidity in the room it will help to a small extent to decrease the humidity in the bator. Some people have had luck with using unpopped popcorn or the silicon pouches (like those found in clothes pockets and pill bottles).

    Help! first time hatching!

    Some people just don't get the concept that if you do the same thing over and over the same way you get the same results. If it's not working you change it, and you keep changing it until you find what does work.

    Help! first time hatching!

    Just remember if you've had it open, let it come back up to temp before adjusting too much because you will end up with a spike. Adjust it in itty bitty teeny tiny incremements and give it an hour or two before adjusting again and do this until you get it where you want it. The controls on these...

    Help! first time hatching!

    If the air cells are big and in the vicinity of where they need to be, I wouldn't worry too much. I'd just run at around 30% (as long as you are sure your hygrometer is right) and keep an eye on them. If they are signficantly bigger, (which with that high of humidity I can't see that being) then...

    Help! first time hatching!

    Ok, you are only on day 11 so you have plenty of time to even things out, so take a deep breath and relax. Yes, take the eggs out. It won't hurt them to go in an egg carton for a few minutes while you dry out the incubator. Then put them back in and yes, if you have a still air the temp should...

    Help! first time hatching!

    Mine turns in 2 hour increments. It takes an hour to turn one way and come back then an hour to turn the opposite and come back. As for the LG displays, they are notorious for being off. Most people that use the 9300 model have to turn the heater up 2-3 degrees higher than the temp they are...

    Yeah, that appears to be worse than I thought. It does look like the insides are on the outside, poor little guy. RIP little guy.

    Help! first time hatching!

    If it's just the cord, and I'm pretty sure that's what you are describing, it's not a big deal. They usually end up pulling most of it off moving around in the incubator. If not, you can either wait until it dries up and withers off (like a baby's umbilical cord) which can take some time and if...

    Help! first time hatching!

    I'm thinking the "cord' is still attatched by the sounds of it. Has it seperated the cord from the egg or is it still attached to the egg shell? Whatever you do, (and it doesn't sound like you would), do not pull on it.
