Adding more water during lockdown?

[Crayonsmom]

The later stages of lockdown? I have one of 3 eggs peeping in the incubator now. I last added water through a vent hole last night to keep the humidity up. Can I still do that again tonight or tomorrow to make sure the duckling isn't shrink wrapped when s/he pips?

That's fine. You can do that. If you have to open your bator, try to close it back up quickly. Some people use a spray bottle and spray a mist in the bator before they shut it, which helps keep the humidity level.

Thanks for the reply! I shouldn't have to open the bator unless it gets extra dry in there. Luckily one of the open vent holes is right above the water ring and the wet towel I put in there soaks up the extra water too.
