It's official, I am going to get NO SLEEP the next couple days. My humidity was staying around 80% and everything was going well until I went to sleep. i woke up to 45% humidity. I'm hoping that everything will be ok. The first thing I did this morning was moisten the washcloth so i'm hoping that everything is ok. We are on day 20. There hasn't been any movement in the eggs. wow, this is stressful

FINALLY!  4 shallow cup with sponges AND a washcloth!  and my humidity is 70%.  now the real is going to be how to wet the washcloth without opening the bator

Position the washcloth under a vent hole you can put a straw thru..Add yout water with a syringe or kitchen baster thru the straw
Good luck on you hatch. it is very stressful! every timeIf the humidity is back up and nome have pipped yet you are probably ok.I had mine on day 14 go from 40 down to 15 over nightI am hoping they are ok ..made me so mad!.
