Humidity

I got confused about the humidity when I first put in my eggs is it 45 to 50 does anybody know or give me any advice please I would appreciate it

I try to keep my humidity during incubation between 50-60% so when it comes time to hatch you can keep it between 60-65%

Thanks you so much. I always thought it should be at 45

And I always wake up in the morning and it's really low. Most of the time it will go down in the 20's

It does that sometimes too for mine. It'll be the right humidity before I go to bed but in the morning It'll be around 30%. So I've figured out a method I think works pretty well and thats to add the tiniest amount of water to the incubator right before you go to bed. Around 1/4 oz. Just so it doesn't drop dramatically and this will keep the humidity in the right range throughout the night.

Thank you so much I'm going to do that.

What kind of incubator do you have? Yes, try adding water before bed.

I try to keep my humidity about 48-55% or so until lockdown.
