Dry incubation question on humidity --day 8

[lazyoranch]

I am on day 8 and am doing a dry incubation. My humidity was hovering between 30-35%. Today it is 25%. Is that too low? Thanks in advance.

I never add water until mine gets to 20%. Last hatch was 14/16.

I have never heard of dry incubation. Do you add water at day 18 then, OP? I have some eggs in the bator right now. Why are you doing a dry incubation? (Please pardon my ignorance.)

I usually let it dry out to about 25 before bringing it back up to about 45-50, and then let it dry out again. My last two hatches have been 23 out of 24. Different places will have different methods that work the best.

You basically only worry about humidity the last 3 days. Run it dry the first 18 days. An about 70% the last 3.

I've been trying that this time, but since I'm in florida, mine never goes below 30%.... so I've been letting it stay like that over night, then adding more water to make it up to 45-50%. Is this okay?

Yes, this is fine. Yours and my areas have similar climate and elevation, and that's kind of what i do, but it takes a few days for it to get down that low after i bring the humidity up to 50.
