My hen has started ( What we call lock down ) I felt under her to candle her eggs she is humid under there sweating like a pig and has plucked away all her belly feathers so to raise the humidity for her babies. She is sopping wet under there I just hope we dont get any more cold fronts cause all that moisture after chicks hatch and cold air surely isnt good for them.
Again I think it depends where you live and how dry your area is inside your home. We use space heaters when it gets cold, and that makes it really dry inside on top of the already dry air outside.
