EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

I NEED HELP!!! Can't get my humidity up past 52%, using a BIG pan down below, added two Tupperware at egg level (tall enough Tupperware so no drowning occurs if they hatch while I'm at work). Put a sponge in one of the tupperwares. Day 19 today. What should I do?
is your hygro calibrated? how long has the water pan been in there it takes awhile to come up

You need to enlarge the EVAPORATION SURFACE!
ADD a sponge, a towel, put some shallow plate instead of a deep one.

Is your hygrometer accurate? What was the temp of the water you put in? What incubator, how long are you giving it to come up? If you increased the water surface area, the humidity has/will increase.

It's been said. Haha. I was going to ask if your hygrometer is accurate, and suggest wide pans rather than deep.
