What humidities do you all use for incubating and then lockdown?

Incubation 40-45% at lockdown I bump up to 65%-70%

Yeah I was going according to that sticky post that said mid 40s for incubation and mid 60s for hatching. The mid 60s ended up being on the lower end, like 62-63% usually is where I got it to sit. For incubation it was pretty consistent at 45%.

Was your humidity gauge salt tested?
If not then that 45% might actually have been closer to 60%

I prefer to hatch around 30% and then bump up to 50 for hatch day only.

It wasn't, I will salt test this new one I ordered. I didn't know what that was until just recently.

But the incubator and my thermometer were reading within a few % for humidity so hopefully they both weren't super off D:

Sounds good maybe a touch lower

Why is @Kiki giving me a wow face??

I don't like your humidity numbers.

I don't like your humidity numbers.

Quiet or I’m gonna stuff you in the incubator. If it makes you feel better I incubate Marans eggs 30-35% the whole time never changing it.

I will hatch out biting floofers...that attack!
