I just set my eggs today!!!

[bice14]

I just set my eggs in the incubator today. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I have 2 dozen Blue Laced Red Wyondottes that I had shipped in and an additional 8 eggs from my flock. One of those eggs is a Mille Fluer Duccle! I have only incubated 2 times before this, last year. Anyone have the Hovabator 1602n incubator that they use for thier own incubation??? Got any tips regarding the fan or vent plugs? My temp is consistant at 99-100 and humidity is at 55% right now. Thanks

I'm going to do a dry incubation today. My humidity is around 30. I have a still air. Both plugs are out. Is this to low?
