Thank you! I think my hydrometer is malfunctioning... DH is friends with the local hardware store owner, and is going to town to buy me a new one tomorrow! ON CHRISTMAS, when the store is closed...

This is worse than when we were expecting our children! Living so far from everything sure makes you think twice....

Yes But Just Take A Deep Breath Things Will Be Fine You Can Wet A Wash Cloth With Warm Water And Put It In There And That Way You Know It Will Come Up... Till You Get A New Hydrometer

Hubby went to bed... before he did, he handed me a glass of wine. Two words were spoken. "relax" and "stockings" lol

Thank you.... I put some paper towels in, and although my hydrometer has hardly moved, I can feel that there is more humidity in there than before. A big

for your help

I pretty much do the same thing. I have my humidity around 35% during incubation and when I set them for hatching (lockdown) I raise my humidity to around 75%. My hatches are 95% to 100%. What kind of incubator are you using and how far an are you in your incubation?
Good luck...
