My eggs are due to hatch the on the 8th sunday will be the last time i need to turn them. do i need to bring the humidity up then or wait till they are closer to hatch time. thank you

On day 18 stop turning eggs and up the humidity to 60-70% humidity. After that, don't open that bator.

Good luck with the babies.

Can you feed the water to it without opening?

I seen a post where some one made a couple new holes in the incubator and used clear tubing to fill the water trays think i will do the same.i also have another ? a lady dropped of some of those Easter egger eggs for me with the wife today. she said they are fertile and she has had them stored about 3 days. i would like to put them in the incubator but don't know if the high humidity will hurt them and don't want to be opening the incubator to turn them. i have black copper marans eggs in the incubator now and as you all know they are not cheap. my options are 1 cook the Easter eggers 2 buy another incubator 3 buy a auto egg turner but don't know if the high humidity will hurt the new eggs.

as always thank you
