How much so I put water in this incubator?

[BuffOrpington567]

I have been incubating some eggs for a week and only just put water in it on Wednesday. Though by the end of each day all the water is gone and I want to know if I am meant to put water in everyday and not like once every 2 days or something. Pics of incubator down below. Thanks for your help in advance

What's your humidity reading on your hygrometer? That should inform when you need to add water to maintain a specific humidity level.

You want your humidity between 35-45 first 18 days then 65-75 for lockdown. What does your hygrometer say? As @FoodFreedomNow stated, that will tell you if you need water added or not. Good luck

I don’t have one unfortunately

You’ll have to get one so that you can monitor your humidity. You can get them at Lowe’s, (thermometer/hygrometer in one) for about $10-12. The proper humidity has a lot to do with your incubation/hatching!!!!!

The BYC Learning Center has many helpful resources related to incubation and hatching, like this article. As @Stacyoung13 already mentioned, maintaining proper humidity is very important for successful hatches.
