Humidity for incubators in Northern Utah

[UThobbyfarmer]

I'm wondering if anyone can share their knowledge with me on what %humidity worked best for you. I'm in Utah County.
I'm picking up some hatching eggs tomorrow and I'm hope to get them started right away.
If I don't get any input for my region I'll try 40% for starters.

30% for incubation. Calibrate your hygrometer with a salt test.

I do not know your area, but I have helped people in many places in the USA, and Canada, 35% seems to work good in most places so between 30 and 40%.

Just a quick update in case someone asks a similar question in the future. For my high desert region I've been successfully hatching with a humidity of 50-55%. If it drops under 50 I get nervous. I monitor egg weights weekly to make sure they're on track for a 12-14% weight loss at hatch.

A breeder in my area said she keeps her incubator at a constant 65% throughout incubation. My set up didn't need to go that high but shows you how dry it is here vs. other areas.
