Humidity while gone on vacation?

[jus10inla]

Just now on day 16 (placed in incubator 5 days ago) . i normaly hold it at 40-45%. And fill water every 2-3 days.

its a NR 360. I will be leaving Thursday am and not returning until Monday afternoon. Should i jack up the humidy to 70ish and let it eat until i get back? Since i wont be able to fill it. Im assuming it would probly be 25-30ish by then

Do you have someone that can come check on them say, on Saturday? If not, you can try putting a sponge or towel in the incubator to try and keep it moist.

@jus10inla What ended up happening?

 

[jus10inla]

They will be hatching Thursday. 14 out of 19 developing.

i jacked it up to 65 the Thursday morning I left. Monday afternoon it was 38. Looks like since it was so early on no problems.
