Humidity problems - Need help!

[PuddlesandWaddles]

I would definitely put a wet sponge or towel to hopefully keep the humidity stable for longer as it will hopefully slow the evaporation rate.

Ok, I will try that. How large should I do?

It depends on how much space you have and how long it takes to dry up. I personally do 1-2 squares of paper towels folded up and soaked in water and squeeze out the excess. This should make the humidity stable for longer.

Alright I’ll try that and see how it works.

The paper towel has worked really well! When I woke up this morning the humidity was at 35 which is definitely an improvement. I just candled tonight and it’s hard to say but I think one is trying to internally pip!

Unfortunately this morning it was at 21.

I had to test several times and finished putting a bowl of water in the incubator.
With just the reservoir it dropped over night always down to 20-25%, with the bowl I can keep it around 40-50% depending how much water is in it and around time to hatch I add the water into the reservoir to passe the 65% (chickens)

But even with daily drops to 20-25% I never had problems.

Well, that's nice to know! I've been telling myself they'll be fine since it's been dropping to 20-25 every night and they're doing great.

Also, is normal to see an egg wobbling on day 23? last night I was sitting next to the eggs and I heard something I looked up and one egg was wobbling a little!

I don't know about duck eggs, but chicken eggs might wobble a bit while the chicken is getting in position to hatch or zipping. so I think it's similar. Good luck!

I found an internal pip yesterday so I put the eggs in lockdown and this morning there is an external pip! So excited!
