HUMIDITY WORRY CHICKEN EGGS

[Vmuss13]

So my incubator has been at like 60% humidity and 70% humidity some of the time. Little times it on 50% humidity. I’m on day 3/21 of hatching the chicken eggs. My questions are what are some tips you guys have to lower the humidity? What humidity % do you use for your chicks? Should I even be worried about this since it’s so early in the hatch? You guys don’t have to answer all of these just anything will help I’m nervous.

I have eggs in my incubator right now and the humidity was 60-70% from day 1-6 because my hygrometer did not arrive until the evening of day 6. That did not affect the eggs and the chicks are developing well. I don't think it will affect your eggs. You could try putting a sponge in your incubator to lower the humidity. A good percentage to keep the humidity at is 30-40%.

Thank you so much that makes me feel better! I’ll try and put a sponge in it!
