I can see veins I have 2 brown eggs and 3 white. I really want it to work this time my incubator is set on 38.4 and the eggs feel a lot warmer this time. My humidity has been around 40 to 45 today its a little higher at 50 that's completely dry.

38.4 C or F? They need to be 99.5 F. Humidity should be at 45% for wet hatch, or 35% if you're doing dry hatch. If you're doing dry, boost humidity to 65% for lockdown.

Good luck!!!

Ok. If you have no water maybe you should be doing a dry hatch at 35%.

OK I'm not understanding. I have no water at all in there humidity has been 40 to 45 percent today its really hot and humid outside and humidity is 50 in my incubator

Ok, I guess just leave it alone.It'll probably be fine. i open the lid about every day for a few minutes to let some humidity out. It's perfectly fine to do that. Mama hens get off their eggs daily to eat, drink, and poop.

I don't know how I'd lower it if I was already running it dry

I had this problem I cut a few strips of new dry sponges and put it on the bottom and it did help to pull the humidity down.
