humidity prob

[ams4776]

I cant get my humidity down past 70% i plan on putting the eggs in sat. How big of a problem can this provide? And any clue how to get it lower? I have no water in the incubator

I am going to assume that your humidity gauge is wrong/broken. For your humidity to stay at 70% with no water in the incubator the house humidity has to be around 100% or the house temp has to be very hot or a combination of the two.

My basement has a bad water prob right now actually and the only safe place i can have em. Its a brand new hydrometer

Maybe get a dehumidifier for the room.

Ok that makes sense then. It is going to be really hard to get the air sack to grow enough like that. You will probably need do find a way to lower the room humidity.

One runs when the washer is off. Maybe i should move it closer. Biggest prob is a pipe drain prob. All our shower and sink water is spilling into the basement. And itll be a cpl weeks to get fixed.

Is the room being heated in any way?

 

[ams4776]

Just when the furnace runs. But it doesnt warm it that much. Plus we have been nothing but rain so the humidity has been high

Ok the colder the room is the less moisture the air can hold. For every 10 degrees cooler the room is there should be about 10% drop in humidity in the incubator. Not sure if that info helps you any...

Okay ill turn off the heat vents and see how that goes.
