Can't seem to get humidity up for hatch. Any suggestions??

Walmart has a cheap but effective hydrometer, I'd cover the holes with tape... and watch humidity then punch smaller holes in the tape as needed.
oops hydrometer is for wine making... i mean humidity gauge !
mines holding steady at 60%
still air homemade bator.

Thanks everyone for your ideas. I turned the pluhs upside down and covered the wholes on a little bit. I'm really thinking because we have out heat on in out house and a heater on in the room the bator is in it is drawing the humidity out. So I have put a vaporizor in the room. There's no water dripping or even steaming up on the windows of the bator so I don't think I have overdone it.
Thanks again and will keep yah posted!!

I have alot of trouble with my LG keeping humidity up also. I've got a funace going plus have a fan in the incubator and am really not happy with how hard it is to keep the humidity up to even 30%. I'll be looking for some flat tupperware type trays to add to the bottom ones in the foam.

Increase humidity in room and humidity will go up in bator...easy. You can get cheap humidifiers at walmart or the pharmacy. Personally I find with higher moisture in the house I feel warmer and can turn down the furnace.
