Humidity

Kebonnixs 12 incubator say to open vent all the way last 3 days. I can only keep my humidity at 50 with it 3/4 shut and it wants humidity up to 65% last 3 days. Any suggestions??

50 to 55% Rh is adequate. Maybe add a wet sponge to increase the surface area of evaporation to increase the % Rh.

Would you open the vent fully as instructions say if I can't keep up humidity?

What kind of eggs are you incubating?
If you're incubating chicken eggs, I've read 70% from lockdown, open the vents and as @007Sean mentioned a wet sponge to increase humidity when necessary. Happy hatching

Good luck with your hatches

70% Rh is too high, causes the chicks to become 'stuck', which is different from a 'shrink wrapped' chick.

Do you have an independent calibrated hygrometer....don't relie on the machines humidity sensor, they are notoriously unreliable.
