Same here. The incubator directions say one thing, but multiple threads here have such a variety of answers.Thank you so much. The "Google" answer led me to believe that 55%-60% is the right answer. However, I began to question that as I searched these threads and have lowered my humidity to 45%-47%. I will continue to adapt as I learn here. I appreciate your input (and levity).
I'm on day 14 and will be candling and marking the air sacs to determine if I need to raise or lower my level. I am grateful for the more experienced commenters regarding how to decide what level is right for my situation. Best of luck on your hatch! Is this your first hatch?Same here.

I'm so glad you started this poll thread because I was about to do something similar. I know so much depends on all the variables, but one thing I don't see a lot of people mention is what the humidity may be in their house or their area in general. Or their elevation. Both seem to have quite the impact on hatch success.
I live high enough to need adjustments to baking and canning and canning, but not high compared to what people consider a higher altitude. My home humidity is about 50% this time of year and my incubator wants to stay above 50% with half the recommended water and vents open. I'm feeling like it might be a bit too much. I'm only on day 2 so nothing to measure yet.
It is. My incubator is much smaller, but has good reviews. Yours is a cool incubator by the way.I'm on day 14 and will be candling and marking the air sacs to determine if I need to raise or lower my level.
