Hello!!! So I made my own incubator from a video I found on YouTube. I posted photos of it below. Originally I had a plastic cover on one part to see through the box for convenience but it was getting too hot so I needed to open it up more. I now have a cover over that hole with vents (seen in picture) I have 2 eggs in there on day 6 that are thriving with beautiful veins and heartbeats! (Also attached photos) I need some suggestions with the humidity. I have been able to keep the temp between 99-100 but the humidity seems to keep staying between 30-40%. I added in a bigger dish with water and sponges (seen in pic) but it doesn’t seem to be rising yet. Any suggestions for me to increase the humidity? Would the embryos still be ok if I couldn’t get the humidity much higher? Any help would be much appreciated!!!! Also, do you suggest I start to spray them after day 7 once a day to bring them to room temp and back into incubator? I had one clutch that was abandoned by mama that I tried to save but I didn’t get to them in time and they all expired. However, like I said...the incubator seems to be working well as the two new eggs are doing great. Thanks so much for the help in advance everyone!!
