Humidity help, emergency!

[BabySweetsTurkeys]

I have 2 Hydrometers in my incubator, a magicfly one and a repltile tank one, and both read 70% at day 10. I then checked my incubator and there is literally only about 1/4 teaspoon of water in the bottom. How is it reading that high when so little water is in it? Or is 1/4 teaspoon to much? Is it to little? All help is appreciated. I have a Magicfly Janoel 12 incubator with 6 chicken eggs in it. Temp is perfect ranging at 99.5-100 but humidity has me so stressed out.

Is the incubator window fogged up at all? Mine starts to fog up when it hits about 63-65% humidity.
I really don't think your humidity can be that high with so little water. See if I try goes down at all over the next day.

Nope, no fog at all. This is my first plastic incubator, I’ve always had styrofoam. I drained the water and I’m gonna wait an hour to see what they’re at.

What is your climate? Maybe it's just the natural humidity in the air?

My room humidity is about 45% and temp is 73 F, could this have an affect?

I agree air humidity could be effecting it. Mines running really low right now despite adding water becuase its getting hot and is very dry already. When just last hatch ending 2 wks ago it was cool and wet out and my humidity was running high except fir one day during that hatch that it was hot and dry and the humidity in the batot plummeted...

Thank you, I get worried so easily. Gonna keep a good eye on it tho!

Huh. Guess not. 45% isn't very high. Sorry I don't know what else it could be.

Did you calibrate your hygrometers?

I’m gonna keep a very good eye on it
