How can I up my humidity?

[funonahonda]

My humidity is 51% how can I up it? I have 29 eggs in the bator and my temp is at 99.9

stick a wet sponge in there on the wire and the humidity will go up

If your water trays are full an you still wont it higher then you can put spunges in them or add cups of water.

Is there room to put more water in somehow/somewhere? A spice jar w/water? Wet sponges? All it needs is more moisture.

you can also take a new spray bottleand pull a red plug out and spray a couple of times too

What day are you on? If you are not on day 18 or more, the humidity is to high. It should be between 35 & 40%. The on day 18 kick it up to 60%.

Wet paper towels work much better to get the humidity to raise in my experience.

 

[what was i thinking]

if you are on day 18 or later, you could wet paper cartons, not the ones your eggs maybe in. that is what i do. sometimes broke of sections to place around bator. good luck and happy hatching.
