Where is everyone

Hi there! I have. Perhaps I did not read far enough but I just feel like my questions weren't answered in the notes. This is my first round so I'm obviously very paranoid!

Yeah, the duck section isn't as complete. Your humidity def needs to come down tho.... Like Peter said, rice in the channels works.

What's the humidity in your incubator room. Could you use a dehumidifier in that room and keep door closed? Just thinking out loud here I don't know your situation

Hey Kathy! I have one of the cheapo 56 (I think) egg incubators. China version

 

[chickmama22]

Truthfully I don't know! I have it set up in my bedroom. It's the only room I have that I'm sure the kids won't bother the eggs. it's an enclosed garage turned into a room so the temp varies usually from what's on the thermostat but only by a degree or so. We are in NC so we have some harsh humidity in summer but this time of year it usually isn't a problem.
