Forced air incubator if it matters

Humidity seems to be an often widely disputed thing. I've read about some people doing dry runs with no added humidity and others with the numbers you've already quoted.

Granted, this is my first hatching, but I'm running mine at 45-55%, still air incubator, and I've got several developing embryos. I think it mostly depends on the ambient humidity in your area for how much more is needed to allow the right amount of moisture to leave the egg.
