'Bruh' is a word used for men, not women -- Had you watched and heard my comments on the video I posted you would know I'm not a 'bruh' .. you would know many other things too.
Have a good one.

why do people do a dry hatch and what is the purpose of having no humidity until the end of the incubation period?

My incubator is in a walk out basement I add no water to it. I have the vents partially closed and add no water at hatching the hatching eggs will increase the humidity inside the incubator as they get close to hatching. The word eludes me at the moment for the process. I have excellent results since hatching this way but have never done it this way outside of the basement.

I "dry hatched" some Swedish Flower hen eggs last April on the dining room table in Oklahoma. Didn't add any water until day 18. If I remember right, out of 13 viable eggs, 11 hatched.

Alot of people do it be because it's easier depending on climate. Alot of the time it is just waiting until lockdown and adding humidity then. Especially if you don't have a incubator that doesn't have a pump or might be a pain to add water. Done both ways I will say I've had alot less blood rings in the dry hatch method. Hatch rate about the same wet and dry. A broody momma is honestly the best way if people have access and the easiest method. Also the higher hatch rate in my experience.

It's 65 in my room already so I will try not adding any water at all. I read up to 80%humidity for hatching but realise that's a bit silly now.
