My first hatch......when I got the still air the directions clearly stated to keep water in the channels. So, I did. But now after reading all of you professionals posts I worry if it was too high during the early stages. After reading more and more, probably day 13-17 I didn't add water and kept the levels low as i could. Here in florida, I finally got the hydrometer and it said about 48% humidity those days 13-17. So since I was keeping water in the channels during those first 13 days, it was probably higher. Yesterday when I put them on lockdown, I added water to all the channels and also put a wet sponge. My humidity level now is about 74% and has stayed that way since yesterday. What do you all think? Am I driving myself crazy for nothing? Do I even have a chance at successful hatching. When I candled before lockdown I had movement in all of my eggs. Thank You
