HELP! My Humidity dropped!

[secretquail]

When I checked the bator this morning, my humidity was 28! The hydrometer read 48 last night, I guess it took a while for the meter to register the change. This is day 12, did I kill all my littles??? I immediately got the humidity up, but now I'm nervous, this will be the 2nd batch in a row that I messed up.

I think you will be fine, about 5 days ago, I left for work in the morning but before I did I checked on the eggs and it was all good humidity 56% and 99f, anyways when I got home from work I didscovered that in the morning I didn't close the bator lid completly so when I got home the humidity was down to 16%, I thoght that I had killed my babies, I asked here in the forum what I should do and most people agreed that I should let it keep going and I did, today it's day 13 and I candled them and there still alive, so I doubt that your babies are dead, more important than humidity it's the temperature, now on that you can't afford big drops. I'm pretty sure your chicks will be fine.

You should be fine - good thing to always check all the vitals of the incubator

You're fine. Get it back to 60 or so, and carry on.
