humidity question

[poulet]

just bought myself a hydrometer for my bator and wanted to check what it should be the first 18 days. It is 60% in the last three days right ?

Yes, that sounds good. What are you hatching?

 

[Tuffoldhen]

40 to 50% range...from day 1 to day 18

60 to 70% range last 3 days....

I am on day 1..A newbie @ this...Where do I find a hygometer? What do I do with it? Now I`m worried!
Edited for spelling.

Thermometer/Hygrometers are found at Wal-marts in the garden section or anyplace thermometer are found, two brands are accurite and springfields, I use either one of these and they work just fine.......It is used inside your incubator to measure the humidity that you need for hatching eggs...from day 1 thru 18 you need a humidity reading between 40 to 50%...from day 19 thru 21 it should read 60 to 70% range...
