Humidity

Ok I have a batch in the incubator that go into lock down this evening. What should the humidity be at? Right now it is between 70%-75%

I would prefer 65% max--I feel your humidity is too high--don't want to drown the lil guys. I have hatched out 100's of chicks--65% is best.

How do I lower the humidity?

What kind of incubator?

Venting it will help but watch it closely, lockdown was a pain in the butt for me too. To high to low! Makes you bananas! My hatch went well though. Good luck!

Oh yeah, mine hatched well at 50-55% in a homemade styro.

Yep, that's a good humidity level.

I have a forced air incubator. I have humidity down now between 65%-70%
