That humidity should be fine, that's what ours runs. We just use a spray bottle and spray them on mist everytime we need to open or even a couple times a day if they are getting dry during the last three days, we use no added water other than the daily mist in the small hatcher, the big one we just use one water tray and the same thing mist them.
Oh don't give up I know it is very heartbreaking when they are almost there and don't make it
You will get it. The flock isn't laying great right now but can bring you some eggs to play with if you aren't picky about breed, can do banty or std whichever, you will get it don't give up, takes some time to figure what works for you is all. We have never tried the egg cartons before all ours have the tuners (I'd be in big trouble we would forget to turn them for sure), the sportsman of course has the fan and one of the little giants also does.
I would like to try Laura, and this time i will lay them on their side and mist each time i have to turn them. I have a turner, but it was not working as of last spring, my friends husband took it apart and said that the problem is they use junk motors in them. I got mad at her and said, well pelnty of my chicken friends have been using them for years and have no problem. He likes to down everything other people have and do because he is one of those people that are so smart they are stupid! You know, the engineering type that can build a space shuttle, but cant use a can opener! LOL
OK. Will bring some for ya, just let me know if you prefer little or big
We have had our turners in our LG's for about 4 almost 5 years and had have two motors burn out with 4 turners. We replaced one and the other one Bryant made a little handle that goes into the hole where the cord comes out, so the eggs can still be in the egg holders and be turned by hand without opening up the bator every day (he does sometimes come up with good ideas, but don't tell him that lol)
