Reducing humidity during the first 18 days of incubation
VENTILATION – Ventilation will increase air flow and help to reduce humidity. PULL THOSE RED PLUGS! IMPORTANCE OF FANS and HOW TO ADD ONE to your STYRO! post #58100
TEMPERATURE: Increase temperature to 100.5 to 101 CALIBRATED because warm air can hold more moisture (relative humidity decreases if temperature increases). HOW TO CALIBRATE post #9068
RUN the HUMIDIFIER,
RUN THE AC, USE EXHAUST FANS
Becoming mindful of the indoor and outdoor Humidity and temperatures, keep the bator away from the kitchen and shower area. Make full advantage of the exhaust fans, cooking pasta etc, and taking showers will raise humidity in that area, make sure those vents are vented to the outside of the home. Also vent clothes dryers outside.
COARSE SALT: salt is one of the most absorbent natural products out there and it also combats moisture in walls.
CHARCOAL: Charcoal briquettes can also be effective in absorbing moisture and eliminating musty odors. Kingsford original has no added fire starting chemicals. DampRid is also a product made to remove humidity and odors, with activated charcoal.
BAKING SODA: Baking soda sucks in the excess dampness and holds it, replace when damp.
SILICA: You can buy it in pet stores; they use it for kitty litter.
WHITE DRY RICE Combined with SALT: Before it is cooked, dried rice has the capacity to absorb a good deal of moisture its best to add salt as well.

Anything that eats burdducks is evil! The turkey buzzards around here don't, though - if they did, they wouldn't have time to regret it!NO. I refuse. That's a buzzard and it might eat my BurdDucks.
