You might want to drip some candle wax over crack part of egg.seal it from any bacteria getting inside especially since your handling eggs every couple minutes

Uh ho....
Someone has not read every post.

I may be way off here, but don't you just want humidity and not "steam"? Actual steam inside the homemade incubator would be at 100%, wouldn't it? I dunno, I'm winging it here....

I'm relying on this silly crappy Walmart humidity gauge thing to tell me if I am getting the numbers right.
This is what I was using.

It was working great but I have to be sitting there NON STOP to monitor the temperature because it did raise it.

I've now moved on to the sponges.
They are working!!!!

WOOT!

Great! The only downside to sponges is how often you have to re-wet them. Not fun.

Wait a minute...I have first dibs.

If you think you're crazy now--get a heeler--whole other level of crazy.

Hey, whatever you can get to works... I McGyver things all the time...
What if you have the humidifier lower then run the hose in the bottom or lower side of the incubator you made, put through that, steam rises to it will just flow into the egg chamber. Just a thought..

Yes do this!!! Much smaller hole that if it doesn't work as planned you can fix easier.

I have to get this stuff figured out asap or I'm not going to be able to go talk to The Man today!

Let see how this does. I got the sponges wet and put them on the bottom. Was I supposed to put them in a dish first? View attachment 1311592

30ish minutes ago I was at 27% humidity.
I am at 40% right now.
Do I take the sponges out?
Leave them?

This whole time when I think I need to stop the temperature from rising. (playing wafer) I have been moving the light.
Did you know I could have been just twisting the knob to turn it off?

Oh my....can I possible get any dumber?
