Hi Sunshine-thank you! (Its been awhile!) Sorry my post made that sound confusing! Years ago when I lived in CA, I raised exotic parrots and incubated. And more recently, I used broody hens for hatching chicks.
My humidity is sitting around 32% now with using one of the smaller bottom trays in the hovabator. I have an auto turner, but I an definitely move them from one side to the other?
