Ideal/ Acceptable Brooder Humidity

[HiddenHill Heretic]

Hi.. So as my 55 ducks continue to grow and flourish, I have installed a remote temp/humidity sensor inside their brooding pen. The Temp seems good, hovering around 85 after 1 week of life. I have not found any advice on ideal humidity. Mine sits between 45 and 70 percent. Anyone had experience with this? Thanks

Congratulations on the ducks! I have never heard of controlling humidity beyond incubation, that's a new one on me. It will be interesting to learn about. I only pay attention to the temp in the brooder, be it chicks or ducklings.

Interesting..I would have thought there were have been a bit of humidity produced by so many ducks breathing- I have seen the windows fog up on my car pretty fast when transporting a large number of ducks anywhere. But I have only heard of humidity being monitored inthe incubator- not brooder.
