I recently wrote an article about how I converted a cheap incubator with an Incukit Mini.
Franken-bator -- Converting a cheap yellow topped model with the Incukit Mini
I am now running into a problem I did not expect, I am having a dickens of a time keeping the humidity high enough. It used to be that I could throw in two normal size sponges (about the size of an index card) that were just wet enough not to drip and the humidity would be in the 70's for 2-3 days. Now. I fill all the wells in the bottom and it is barely breaking 54% and it evaporates VERY quickly. I practically have to fill the wells twice a day. What is so different that is making the incubator evaporate water so quickly? I was counting on these to be my lock down incubators.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to keep the humidity up?
Fortunately, I have almost 2 weeks before I need to hatch again and I can keep the one Franken-bator that is starting eggs in the 45-50% range if I watch it carefully.
