I was told it was better than having the 50-55% humidity?

You are gonna make me regret doing this..

Dont regret anything. That is just my fear. That is what my humidity has been and its not working for me. I think a lot of it depends on things like elevation and climate in your area.

What I did to get my Japanese bantams to go broody is to put them in their own pen/cage and let them lay their eggs in the nests and when the 2 finally went broody I split eggs half and half so they had an even ammount of eggs. Some eggs were like 2 weeks old and hatched.... Weird, but they hatched!

If I had more pen space I could do that but unfortunately I do not.
