Hi, I'm new to not only this website but also to hatching chicken eggs. I came across the idea for a school project, to build an incubator and hatch/raise a chicken. so i have done all my research, and i have built an incubator... the temperature is stable at 99 degrees but my humidity won't go anywhere higher than 47 no matter what i try so any ideas? I'm planning on getting Malaysian Serama A sized, so I'll be able to more easily care for them. I plan on getting them off of Ebay Considering i could find no farmers anywhere near me... i have everything figured out i just can't get my humidity up any suggestions?
