Made some modifications to the incubator's humidification system. Made a wire frame and threaded an old cotton sock onto it. The wire frame is roughly the same size and shape as the circulating fan. Then installed two 'guide wires' into the incubator. An adjustment rod was fixed to the wire sock frame and run to the outside of the incubator. Now I can move the sock closer or further from the circulating fan to increase or decrease the evaporation rate and control the RH%.

I pour in water till it starts coming out the pan overflow drain line

I'm maintaining a 99 degree temp with about 65% RH

I can adjust the humidity up or down as need simply by using the adjustment rod to move the framed sock closer or futher from the circulating fan. I think I'm readt for the eggs now. Can't wait!
