I'm currently hatching quail eggs. My hygrometer has been calibrated and I learned it reads low so I've taken that into account.
I'm using a hovabator 1602N with turner and fan. When the humidity reads 30% I'll add just 1 Tbsp hot water to a channel and it goes up to 50% and then gradually decreases. It's an AVERAGE of 40%, is that good enough? We have a couple more days until we candle and I can adjust based on air cells, but I can't ever really maintain a steady 40% in there.
When folks say incubate at a certain humidity, is that an average or am I doing something wrong?
I live in Phoenix so the a/c is on 24/7 right now too.
