Humidity question

[Chickens are awsome]

what should the humidity be at in an incubator? what percent should I keep it at? How many rings should I fill (I have an IncuView incubator)?

I think that 50-60% humidity is the best. are you hatching chicken or duck eggs?

How many rings you fill will depend on your ambient humidity level.

At my place it's usually one or two "wells" during the first 18 days and all wells for hatching. This actually varies by season.. during the rainy season I ad zero water because ambient humidity is super high.

I prefer 35-45% humidity inside the bator for first 18 days.. lower end for darker (Marans) and blue eggs and higher end for white eggs.

Hatching humidity should be around 65%.

Happy hatching!
