Are condensation droplets a good indicator of adequate humidity at lockdown?

Day 19, humidity reads only 60%, but we are getting condensation on the window. Is that enough for hatching? I only filled the outer tray in my Hovabator, because I didn't want to go overboard.
Thanks

Generally condensation means your humidity is to high.

I would doubt those readings.


Good luck..............

If your reading is correct 60% is fine. Though like the post above, I wonder if the humidity is too high. Turkey eggs are hatched at very high, over 80, for successful hatches--though you are probably incubating chicken eggs. I have hatched chickens with my turkey eggs and the chickens hatched fine. I don't leave the chicks in the incubator for long, until fluffed and then pull them out. Good luck !
