Humidity

[HH0611]

I have heard that the humidity needs to be at 85% when it comes time for the ducks to hatch. I have tried to get it past 70%, but it won't budge past 72%. I have added a bunch of water, but it won't go any higher.

Try adding a wet spong or something to give you more surface area of water.

If moisture is condensing on the viewing windows , that's good enough.

The cover to the incubator has a lot of condensation with a hand towel and sponges to help with the humidity. Would there be a chance of it not showing higher humidity?

Humidity is too high then...Forced air or still air incubator?

I think it has forced air because it has a fan going.
