First Time Incubating Dry- What's your lowest successful humidity?

[Griffin Nest]

I incubated dry at 20%. Was that too low? What are your humidities when you dry incubate? Mine are due to hatch tomorrow.

I never add water to mine until day 18...then I just fill the spots. Never used anything to check humidity!

Good Luck on your hatch!!

I live in Augusta, GA...its pretty humid, I'd say. Usually around 20-30% on an average day...

I've had great hatch rates too! I have NEVER put water in before day 18!

Do you mean you actually went all the way through hatch at 16%? Or did you add water at day 18 to up it during lockdown/hatch?
