I have a hygrometer that has a built-in a thermometer :) It reads 15% in the bator without any added water, and 30-35% in my house.

If humidity in my house is about 30-35%, why does it read 15% in the incubator? Which humidity do I trust? I've heard to trust the outside temp, but I've also heard that the heat being produced by the incubator dries out the air in the incubator.

I've considered doing a dry hatch myself, I just think the humidity is a bit low where I live. Might wait until June or July to start, when I know humidity will be higher.

What level is the humidity in the incubator for the first 18 days?

Hello all! I've been genuinely curious about this for a long time. How come we have to monitor humidity in an incubator, when a broody hen hatches her clutch without even having an idea of what humidity is? Does she somehow regulate humidity for the eggs? Really just curious here! :D
