Help with temp and humidity on day 18 please

[maisie]

I am going to be upping the humidity today but want to know how much to drop my temperature by please.

I have 9 eggs at day 18 of incubation and want to make sure i get the last few days right for them

You don't drop your temps ever when you have them at the correct levels from day 1 to 18, they stay the same for day 19 thru 21 or until the hatch is finished.

It's the humidity that needs bumped higher after day 18

I use Day 1 thru 18 a 40 to 50% range in humidity, Day 19 thru 21 a 60 to 70% range.

Thank you for that, i have had humidity at 35-45% so far. Also i am warming up my electric hen but cant believe how long it is taking to get to temp. Its been on for 5 hours now and still is only 28 degrees. Does anyone here have a hen for the brooder.
