This has been a subject of some concern to me. I have this bator made by SO which isn't much different than any other styrofoam set up. It won't get above 45% so generally it runs around 33%. I did not know about cooling them. I have not read that anywhere. How the heck am I going to bump it up to 72%? I feel sure I am dooming this hatch already. Is there a reliable thread with all this detail already written? Would the thick, colorful bloom on the egg attribute to their 'difficulty' or the thick shells?
Place a doubled up paper towel below the mesh in the bottom of the incubator and then wet it. You can also place some wet sponges
in the bottom too this will get your humidity higher. I can get mine up in the 60s by doing this even with leaving all the air vents open.
