UGH! Last day and its 100.2 (fan) and 55%

You'll be fine. My temps went a bit higher than that at the end but humidity was at 65. Try moving the bator to the bathroom where you can turn on the shower and boost your humidity a bit.

Thank you! BirdBrain, yep it's already in the bathroom, I'll see if I can get it to come up a little

I've found that I can't use the hatching tray at the bottom of my 1502... the fan blows so hard it dries out the babies before they're half-way out of the shell. I have a couple of homemade incubators that I use as hatchers that have weaker fans. Humidity about 55-65% works great as long as the fan isn't directly on them.

Good luck Deb!!

I got it back up, its at 67% now. I used a straw and stuck into the hole on the top of my hovabator (sticking it in a glass of water, holding finger over it and releasing the water once it was in position) , it took awhile to get water in there, but it worked!
