Humidity

Last season I had 30 eggs in my little giant incubator. Only one hatched, and turnout out to be a rooster of course lol. I'm thinking he rest drowned. I'm want to try it again, and am considering dry incubation. I have no water in the bator, and it's at 45. Is that ok? Also I have the temp at 100.5. Thank you everyone!
Below is my rooster hatched and now

But at least he's a good-looking rooster!

45% should be ok for humidity (needs to be higher at lockdown, obviously) - I try to keep it closer to 40%, but that can be difficult if the humidity is high inside the room where you're incubating.

Best of luck with your next hatch - hopefully, more pullets!

Did you add water to your incubator? If the problem isn't due to the water in the incubator, there are a number of tips for reducing humidity here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/698082/how-to-reduce-the-humidity-in-my-incubator.

I'd take the water out and recheck the humidity. I'm assuming these are chicken eggs - I dry hatch mine and aim for about 40% humidity until lockdown. This Learning Center article may be helpful: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101.
