Humidity Issues in incubator

[Lalo Rolon]

I’m getting ready for lockdown tomorrow, but I have never been able to get my humidity past 50 degrees. Are there any tricks that anyone has used to raise it besides adding more water?

Humidity is all about surface area. So to increase you need a bigger surface area. Sponges & wide trays.

I have a modified refrigerator turned incubator. For the sponges, do you just set them in the tray of water to soak up water?

I fill them with water and set them in.

Humidity is holding is holding at about 68 degrees right now. Now I impatiently have to wait to see the results. Hatch day is supposed to be Thursday, and 25 of my 36 eggs made it to lockdown. Thanks for the tips!
