High humidity in my incubator

[colby and Rj]

I've just started incubating chicken eggs and for the first 3 days the humidity has been high around 70% are my eggs still ok? No water has been added to the incubator

Welcome to BYC! I'm glad you joined us! Try posting in the "Incubating & Hatching Eggs" section.

Do you live in a very humid climate? Or is the location of your incubator in a very humid room ( bathroom, basement ????) I have never incubated eggs but folks on the incubation threads should be able to get you through this - maybe your incubator has controls to open or close which would cut some of the humidity.

My humidity isn't near that high, although I live in Indiana.

Hi and welcome to BYC. I hope that posting as advised will help you get the answers you are looking for. Like DD, I have no experience using incubators either.

All the best

In addition to the forum on incubating/hatching, there are a lot of articles on the subject in the Learning Center...those might be of help to you.

Good luck!
