Started my new batch of eggs yesterday what is the humidity for the first 18d.I thought it was 30-50 but the sticky note says 50-60

You don't want your humidity too high for the first 18 days...I like the 40 to 50% range...Last 3 days 60 to 70% I get clean hatches...

I love banties too. I'm getting sizzle eggs in a few hours. Humidity on my bator stuck at 35%. I finally got the temp right. Good luck! I'm so nervous!
