[sonew123]

Hi all-Ive had my new bator running for days to get ready for my very first hatch -eggs should arrive tomorrow-My humidity has been around 45% and temp hovering between 99-100.7 is this ok I just dont want tokeep messing with it...I wont add anymore water yet but at what % should I add more water??? I know the first 18 days it's 35-45% right then 50-70% the last 3? thanks for your help ahead of time

Humidity should be 40-50 first 18 days. So 45% is fine. Last 3 days it should be 60-70%

Sounds fine to me.

Still Air or Forced Air bator?

Still air 101 to 102
Forced air 99.8 or so to 100

Remember when you set the eggs in the temp and humidity will go down for awhile but should come back to normal. No fooling with the knobs!!
