dry hatch??

really

Yes, in extreme cases where running your incubator with no water still isn't enough to lower the humidity you can actually toast sponges to further lower the humidity in the incubator. I don't think this is commonly needed though.

I'm in the same situation as you. It's almost always over 70% humidity where I live so I use a hygrometer for my incubator too. I recommend still adding water at lockdown because as temperature rises, humidity drops, and you don't want them to get trapped in the membrane. Too much humidity after lockdown can't hurt so I boost it up until its over 65%, although before lockdown you need air to evaporate from the air cell.

I always add water at lockdown because too much humidity can't hurt once all of the evaporating has finished. I'm not certain what the definition of dry hatching is but I go no water days 1-15 and once it's lockdown I add water to the max.

Right now I am incubating some and it isn't going to stop raining for about a week. The humidity here is like 97% but in the incubator its only 45%. It might be different for you so I would get a hygrometer if I were you. Good luck with your hatch!

You'll definitely need a hygrometer. It can be up to 80% humidity where I am inside, but in my incubator the humidity will still drop to 20% unless I add water.
