help with ducks in incubator

[Lacrystol]

Hi, yes still air. Temp 99.5. Humidity 47. I can't seem to get the humidity up.

Temp should be HIGHER and so does the Humidity. Spray with warm water, that should help. You have wet paper towels in there? Are you sure your reader is reading correctly?

If you spray those eggs it will go up. you need to be around 60-65 right now exspecially if they are all internally pipping..

Today is day 28/29
When you say spray with warm water....do i lift the bator lid to do this? Also i do not know if the temp is right or not...never really questioned it.

May want to get another gage to double check to make sure everything is reading properly but you can do that some other time, I would advice it before you start another hatching. for right now, YES, open that bator and Spray those eggs get that humidity up.. They will tend to dry up and be stuck in there if anything. Shrinkwrap..

I wonder if the ones that you lost and zipped got dried up and couldn't finish the rest of the way. Could be an issue there. So spray them, do you have wet paper towels in there? If so try a wet Wash cloth.. or get some glasses of water and stick a paper towel in each glass to raise it..

I personally use glasses of water and stick a paper towel in each one, I have used 3 at one time when I run into this problem, it seems like the hotter it is the harder it is..

ok quickest was the wash cloth for me.. the temp is rising to 103 and the humidy is at 59 when i checked just now. so it is rising too
