What do you mean with dry incubating? You have to control the humidity or not????

actually I dry incubate but I'm using this for lockdown for my eggs that need to go in lockdown today the 29th lol I have gotten the temp regulated but now I can't seem to get the humidity past 50 % the window is foggy around the edges but my humidity gage forgot the name of it lol is reading 50% I have 5 little cups of water 1 small bowl and a giant sponge like 1 foot long lol anymore ideas how to bring it on up I was thinking 65-70 ? or do ya'll think 50% would be ok ? I'm worried 50 isn't enough to keep em from drying out

Try the hygrometer at another place in the incubator.
Do you have pics of it?

i used a cheap styrofoam incubator i picked up at a yard sale for $5. and just put a small cup of water in it . never worried about the humidity . too high or low . it evaporated as it got warm. i would focus more on temp staying steady than humidity. had success both times i used it . i think that will work just fine.
