cant get humidity down in the incubator.

[erickarb]

Im having trouble getting the humidity down in my incubator. Im running a 9200 still air incubator, like what you get at a tractor supply company. the humidity is at 70 and this is only day two. It spiked up and now i cant get it down at all. Im not sure what to do since I have never done this before. Any ideas.

i may add a little water one the last three days but other than that is just a waste of time and a way for bacteria to grow

You don't add any water at all even in the last three days I'm currently having trouble getting my humidity to stay stable it goes up to 60 then down to 30 I'm on day 19
