Help! first time hatching!

There's about a square 1". It's just a peice of cut sponge, so it would fit.

Yea, I'd put it there. How's the humidity doing now?

 

[silkiecuddles]

Humidity is at 57%ish

See the five eggs in the front? The second and fifth and one in the back are the ones that have pipped

Not sure if the sponge should be touching any eggs, but give it a little time and see where your humidity settles in. I assume temps staying good?

I hear great things about those incubators. They basically call them dummy-proof lol. So at least you have that going for you! You still have a few days to wait, so try not to stress too much. Pips mean something is working, so trust what you have done, and don't second-guess!!

Ok, thanks. Temp is stable and humidity is at 58% still.

 

[silkiecuddles]

Humidity is still at 58-60%. How do I get it any higher? I'm going to glide the vent a little more

I noticed you had posted on the Brinsea Eco thread but I didn't read the whole thread. Noticed others with humidity issues though. Did they have any suggestions on getting it up?
I was wondering if there would be any way, or room, to maybe stuff a damp paper towel up in the top somewhere? Dont want any dripping and not impede the heater or airflow, I'm just thinking of possibilities??

 

[silkiecuddles]

They suggested the felt. It helped, and when it's tilted the humidity really boosts

 

[WVduckchick]

Any change today?
