Increasing the humidity in the hova-bater

[Hoover67]

I have a hova-bator (forced air) 1583. How do I increase the humidity. My BQ are set to hatch in one week. Does anyone have any experience with this model? I have hatched chickens without doing anything different with the humidity. I do not want to mess up the BQ. Thanks!

What is your humidity now?

Typically, during incubation you fill one trough with water and for hatch you fill the 2nd trough as well. Do you have a liner with the troughs in your bator? Of course, you do want to have an accurate reading from a hygrometer so you know how much water is actually necessary for a successful hatch.
