i have 2 digital thermometers in there, plus the one on the bator they all read about the same temp, and say humidity is between 70-80% (in last 3/4 hours) the humidity here is 79% at min anyway (externally) and hasn't dropped below 70 in last day or so. Thanks for your help Kiki.

Hi, I'm in the UK and have also strugglkes with humidity over the past month. It's been so humid in general here thatmy humidity in the incubatior was constantly too high. However, first one hatched this morning...... so there's hope......

well this afternoon about 2:30 after she hadn't been able to move for nearly 22 hours, i carefully removed some shell to hopefully allow her to be able to move her foot or head (her foot was stuck between her head and the shell). It was a very large egg that had a saddled aircell so she was about half way down. 5 hours later she has finally managed to get her head out! I'm worried that the membrane appears to be sticking to her though. and without taking her out i don't know if she's absorbed the yolk.

No, managed to keep it between 45-55 for most the time, it's been worse this week.

Wait a minute... I'm confuzzled now.
79 humidity is too high? Where I live it's 80 humidity. And I have been going on advice from duckbreeders over here; to keep it at 80 humidity at ALL times since they do that for 40+ years.

What's the harm in too much humidity? I thought they stuck to their shell when their was way too less humidity?
