dry hatch??

[muans]

the place where i live humidity is mostly 99% as it rains heavily during spring to autumn..will a dry hatch (no adding water at all) will work..i had a previous hatch that were likely drowning or too high in humidity as i have no hygrometer ...i used to put a large bowl of water inside the incubator and i hardly get a good hatch

I don't see why it wouldn't

If you're able to, I would definitely invest in a little hygrometer. Where you keep your incubator and what incubator you're using will all make a difference in what method would work best for you. I too live in a very humid climate but because I keep the incubator inside where the central air is always running it actually dries out the house significantly compared to outside. The ambient humidity in my hatching room is usually around 45% but because the heating element dries the interior of the incubator out further I do need to add some water to my incubators to keep it around 45%. I hope your next hatch goes more smoothly!

where are you. You should really get a hygrometer i got mine on Amazon super cheap

You can toast sponges and put them in the lower your humidity. It works well but, is a lot of work. I would just toast them until they felt super dry and crispy without burning them of course, on a low heat.

i get that i am using a homemade incubator with a cardboard box sealed with gluestick and at first i had a good hatch rate but it goes down these days..and i am worried now since 7 had died fully developed but no internal piping at all they absorb some part of the yolk not fully absorbed though..a hygrometer is rare to be found in our place and i could not order it online because of corona outbreak
