Day 3 humidy seems high

[michiganlarry]

Last night the humidity in the bator was up to over 50%. Is this going to be a problem? I still have both plugs in the hovabator 1602n. Any suggestions?

Some experienced hatchers take the plugs off from the day 1 to allow full flow of needed oxygen to the eggs.

Plugs are only for a purpose of keeping humidity in.

Since your humidity is up there I would take at least 1 of the plugs off, and see if humidity drops below 50, if not I would take off 2-nd one.

It is not going to hurt anything, just increase fresh air flow to the eggs, especially if you are running full load (40 +)

Only have 18 eggs in there. I wanted to check before I pulled one or both of the plugs.
