Humidity Control for incubating Silkie Eggs

[CaityPop]

I’m incubating silkie eggs and I need help regulating the humidity in my incubator. It keeps hovering between 57% and 65%. What is the ideal percentage for humidity and temperature please! And if it needs to be lower, how can I make it lower?? I’ve drained all the water in there as well.

Do you have a good calibrated thermometer and hygrometer to double check your incubator? Days 1 through 17 I keep my humidity between 40 and 50%, I try to get it around 60 for hatching.

Yes. I’ve got three thermometer plus the original one it comes with in there. All say relatively the same thing. How can I lower the humidity at this point?

You'll need to decrease the surface area of the water. But you said you removed the water?

What incubator are you using?
