If you see condensation ,,your humiditity is too high and not enough ventilation,,,

Mahonri,get you a small spray bottle,and keep it full of water inside the bator so the water is around the 100 degree temp,,you can easily mist the eggs to keep humiditity levels way up,,just barely lift the lid,and give it a pump or two and then watch the rh levels climb,,misting is fast and...

Lift the cover off your bator,and use a spray bottle with warm(99.5) degree water,and mist over the top of the eggs with this,an then close it back up,and block the holes on top,,this willl raise the humidity and will keep it from escaping,,,or colse one hole down with tape so only half is open,,
