How to fix humidity

[peptowishboon]

Running my incubator to get ready to start another hatch (Hovabator 1602N with added fan attachment)

I haven’t even added water yet and the humidity is not going below 60%.

Any suggestions?

Did you salt test your humidity gauge to make sure it is working correctly?

I have not. But I will try. I have 2 separate hygrometers in my incubator and they’re both within less than a % difference.

How long have you been running the incubator?

You have more control of humidity if the incubator is in a small room or closet.

It’s been running about 6 hours today so far.

Just moved it to one of the smaller bedrooms to see if that helps.
