Best incubator for dry hatch

which breed do you have that hatches best with low humidity?
I have Olandsk Dwarves. A Swedish breed. But like @SweetieChicken234 said, the humidity is disgusting here. When I've let my broody hens hatch, the humidity can easily be 80-90% every day. I have to keep fans on them. And my last broody is still weak from sitting. Not sure if she had a heat stroke or what, but she hasn't been the same and sits around and has poor balance and weak muscles. And only a few chicks have hatched out of dozens. So I'm going to try an incubator. I bought one and tested humidity without water indoors and it was still at 35%. I think this is going to be a good solution.
 
The okkobi incubator is the one i used first. It was horrible for humidity, temp was 2 degrees off. But i was able to keep to up the temp so it was at 99.5 - 100 degrees. The alarm shuts off. So for dry hatching itd work. My first hatch all but one egg hatched.
I have the nuture right now and its alot better. I havent tried dry hatching though
We have just used that one and had 2 out of 8 hatch however 1 of the hatches was very deformed and passed away

Im sorry. I find where i got my eggs there is almost a 100% hatch rate.
I definitely dont like it. My last hatch i had a egg that i thought was going to explode i put it in the bator and the temp wasnt working right so i wont ever be using it again
 
We dry hatched with a Maticoopx twice with a 80% hatch rate. Bought it off Amazon for less than 150.00. I just checked and it is $119.00 now. Auto turner and a day counter. We also use a two Govee Hygrometer’s for monitoring to ensure temps and humidity. We never went about 35% humidity (mostly stayed at 25%) the first 18 days. We did add some water on day 19. Humidity stayed between 40-50% and increased from there as chicks hatched.

Thank you! That's the one that I bought. I haven't used it yet. My girls aren't laying but hopefully in a couple of months I can use it. I'll use that humidity formula and see how it goes.
