I don't even measure humidity any more. I go with the dry-hatch method. My bator is in the basement, so no heat, and I only add water if the ambient humidity is low (watch the news, if under 30% then you're getting low). I add water at lockdown if we have had a dry week. My hatch rates are awesome.Do you have any issues with humidity? I live in the south and seem to have issues with my previous styrofoam incubators and humidity levels.

I adore my Brinsea Oct20 (cheap one, not digital). I actually bought a 2nd one so I could use one as a hatcher. I do have one turner, but I did turn it manually for a couple of hatches (you turn the whole unit, not individual eggs). I just got the turner because I tend to forget stuff when I'm in a hurry and I always seem to be in a hurry.Wegotchickens: What incubator are you using/ do you recommend?

Quote: Oh, I didn't know that the Brinsea allowed you to turn without opening. Good to know!
