Dry Incubation VS Wet Incubation

What do you prefer?
What kind of incubator do you have?
What day do you add water in dry incubation?
 
I use a Dickey cabinet incubator myself and keep my days 1-18 humidity in the 40-50% range in my air-conditioned house here in Florida setting washed eggs.

You're going to get answers literally all over the map. And they can all potentially produce good hatches. You have to really get into the details of the person's climate, altitude, equipment, and to a large extent their personal hatching philosophy to figure out what might work for you.
 
Also depends on time of year. 2 months ago I was adding water to my incubators...dry weather with good hatching results, then suddenly the last two hatches of mine (turkey eggs) have been disasters too much humidity, I am now switching over to dry incubation. for the spring & summer.
I hatch in my basement, so it also depends where in your house you have your incubator.
Alot of variables, experiment and see what works or doesn't work for your particular climate.
