Humidity stays at 57%

[yuaan]

I am currently on day 19 of incubation period. Despite there is condensation in my Brinscall incubator but the humidity shows at 57%. Could it be that my hygrometer is wrong. I have successfully hatched 4 batcheso before .I am worriedelighted
Any suggestions

It is very possible your hygrometer can be wrong. You can try calibrating it to check it out.

It's too late now to check as I have one egg who has made entirely sterna pip. She is chirping a lot. I hope that she is not shrink wrap.I am attaching some picture of my incubator condensation ando also the egg with external pip

If you have condensation in your bator you have more than enough humidity for hatch. You really don't want to see condensation. I would wager that the hygrometer is off. Shrink wrapping should not be a worry. Congrats on the pipper and good luck with your hatch.

The hygrometer very well could be correct... The dew point of 100°F @ 57% humidity air is 82°F so if the walls of the incubator cooled below 82°F because of cooler ambient temps outside, you would see condensation like that...

What should I do now? I have candled egg from outside the incubator I can see one egg has internal pip and making notice. One egg air sac is too big and the rest eggs have good air sace size

Would you mind explaining what did you mean?should I worry or not? Should I open incy for a sec to let little humidity out?

Relax and enjoy the process.

At this point I wouldn't worry about adjusting. You have good humidity and you have a pipper. Does the bator have vents that are open?

As said don't worry about it, just enjoy the hatch...
