My brain is obviously on overflow. I've been staring at these numbers and can't get them to make sense.
It's my first time with a "bigger" incubator. I had a little Brinsea eco mini, that was kind of dummy proof. (Put water here, then put more water here. Done.) This one has to be monitored. I have a small clutch under a broody, but I had too many to put under her.
Can someone who knows what they are doing please look at my egg weights and tell me if I need to add, decrease or stay the course for humidity levels for the next week? Lock down is in 4 days. Weights are from Day 14.

I am currently using a Janoel 48 incubator.
I was warned about the temps and humidity levels not reading accurate, so I bought the little mini thermometer and... humidity-level-reading-thingy to put in there at egg level. Sure enough, my purchased two say my humidty levels are at about 40-50-ish, give or take. But the alarm is constantly going off, saying it's like 6% humidty. Temps are off, too, so I am trusting the two purchased ones down at egg level for now...
