Help!! Can't get humidity up in Little Giant Still Air Incubator

[linz44]

I'm having the same problems with my little giant. Its brand new and it sucks. My father in law bought one before us and he has had bad luck too. He had a fairly full incubator with several types of chicken eggs and most of them didn't survive. He Normally has great luck incubating eggs with a high hatch rate, that is until he bought a little giant! He had the first egg hatch the day after the hatch date, which survived. Then the next day He had 2 hatch and one died soon as it hatched and the other was all messed up wobbling around and tipping over really bad even days later. He got 2 more chicks to hatch and live and the rest of the 20+ eggs did nothing. No pips. It had to be the bator.

I have a home made bator, but I'm using the dry hatch method, meaning from day 1-17 I'm keeping it between 28 - 36% and then at hatch I'll turn it up to 65 - 70%. They say it produces a better hatch rate than traditional methods....

To raise humidity levels, increase surface area, not volume. What are you using for a well? Get something larger in diameter, but shallow, that should increase it.....

Good Luck!
