It seems like everyone who has a problem with humidity, has a problem keeping it up. I, on the other hand, can't get my humidity down. It's at 85%, and they were just put in last night. Is it ok to just let it run until the sponge dries up? I can't really get to the sponge to drain it out, and the hose doesn't suck water back out of it, just puts it in. Any ideas?
 
What day of incubation are you on? You just put the eggs in last night?

I don't add a sponge til the last 3 days of incubation. Just fill the water well according to the directions with your bator.
 
You may well not need that sponge... first thing I would do is remove it and watch to see what the humidity will settle to....
 
That's my thinking too, you won't need the sponge yet if you just set your eggs.
 
The sponge is down in the bator, UNDER the eggs, so there's no removing it. It's a homemade bator, and there are no water wells, just the sponge and a little plastic thing that the sponge is in to prevent any excess from seeping out. I have to use a sponge and not just water wells because I'm tipping the entire bator.
