Humidity in a hova-bator genesis?

[nicholasall]

I will be hatching some Marans eggs from this incubator in a week or so. I had two of these same incubators that I hatched in about three years ago, but I've honestly completely forgotten how to keep the humidity constant. How much water do I need to put in each day? Sorry if I sound dumb.

Thats ok its been a while for me as well! I have a older hovabator and more then anything it is running a little hot. And it's circulated are too! sigh. Anyway I have just been checking the humidity everyday and making sure it stays around 30-40%. If it falls below that I just take about 4 TBS of water and see how it regulates. My hova sure is picky! LOL!

Good luck! When are the chicks due?

Take care!

I have a newer one with the humidity gauge. In my currently dry air in my basement, I add 15CC's twice a day. That keeps it in the 50%-30% range.

When it is wet in the spring, there are weeks I add nothing as it will hold at 40%.
