Humdity?

[mylilchix]

I have a goofy humidity question. Can the developing embryos control humidity? I have a still air bator with no turner, so I'm doing it myself. This morning when I turned the eggs the humidity was 45% before I did anything, it dropped to 40% when I opened the bator to turn, and now when I check it the humidity is up around 53%. I haven't added water or touched it since this morning. We're in CO and the humidity here is pretty low too. So what would cause that?

Thanks,
Sonja

Incubating eggs is so exciteing isnt it.

I figure it's just another part of the chicken addiction. Raise chicks, have laying hens, start incubating eggs. The anticipation is the fun part!!
