I have the Hovabator Genesis 1588. On the day 18th, I filled all the bottom section as much water it would hold but humidity wasn't increasing more than 60%. So I decided to add some wet paper towel (soaked in semi hot water) which spiked the humidity to 80% .. and kept steady at 75% after few hours.
This morning about 9AM (40 min ago) , this guy came out
But Humidity dropped to 65% (which is strange as I thought after the chicks start to hatch, humidity should increase). Anyway, should I add some more wet paper towel or just keep my hands off at the moment? I see 2-3 more starting to chip .. or peep
Thanks!
