Yup, tried spraying with water on a batch or two, too. That's when I had higher humidity, too. As for hatch humidity - I've never bumped it up this year because none have ever made it to hatch time.

The 'shrink wrapped' refers to the membrane shrinking after they pip, usually due to too low of humidity. Leave the 'bator closed (as much as you will want to poke around) except to add water.

Just did more reasearch again and sure enough, 55% is the recommended relative humidity almost everywhere I find. Mine's been around 57-58%.

I'll up the humidity. I still have 29 of 33 fertile as of last night (I just set them on the 25th) so hopefully I don't shock them. I'll close vents over time. I know I can easily get it to mid 60 percent. It's the 80 percent during hatching that I'm not sure of. I don't even know how an auto...

We're talking relative humidity, right? If so, those digits are near impossible to hit. I have tried getting humidity that high (highest I could get was 80 something percent) and it was NOT working. I posted on here and found out that ideal relative humidity for hatching is 55%, higher during...

My basement is the most stable in temperature, drafts, and humidity in my entire house. It's a very non-drafty basement. The incubator is an old model from the '50's, very large with 4 racks. It works great, holds temp perfectly. I have two digital thermometers/hygrometers running 24/7. Both...

I need help. Everyone but me has sucess hatching duck eggs or waterfowl eggs. I've set untold amounts of goose, muscovy, and Welsh Harlequin eggs this spring and none have hatched. Earlier in the year when I was still in school, I can understand what went wrong - I didn't have time and often...
