humidity at hatch time

[Murielfarms]

Hi All. Today is day 21 and I have my first pip. My question is about humidity. I have two cheap little hygrometers in my incubator and one reads 45% and one reads 60%. I don't kno wwhich one to trust...I have followed the incubator's instruction manual which is to fill trough 1 and 2 with water during lock down. Should I quickly slip a wet rag in there just to ensure my humidity is high enough? Or am I better off leaving the incubator closed at this point?

did you calibrate either of the hygrometers? That is the only true way to know.

No. How do you do that?

If you search it then it should come up. I am new to it so not completely sure
