Incubator with no vent holes

[DaffyAB]

Hello.

I bought this triocottage incubator off Amazon but this unit does not have any holes for vent. Should I leave the lid little open for the lockdown? I'm worried chicks will suffocate.

Anyone tried this incubator and was successful with the hatch?

Thank you!

Can you take a few pictures of the WHOLE thing?

Description says built in fan and vent but there is no holes..... it has a fan. Is a fan good enough vent??

What are Govee stats looking like?

I just recently read a review on this incubator. Think it was on Amazon.
Person said it indeed had no vents and when it came to lockdown the humidity was way high so they opened it a crack. Then it struggled to maintain correct temp.
They ended up with all kinds of problems. Assisted 5 and ended up with 2 chicks living.
I'd probably open it very slightly but sounds like a d@mned if you do and d@mned if you don't situation.

Today is 18th day. I left lid little open and tried to keep humidity high by putting water on the bottom and also placed little cups inside.
This is how it looks. I saw an egg shaking. So excited! Hope this works.

I haven’t tried that incubator specifically but I have one very similar and it’s supposed to be that way to keep humidity in and to keep them warm.

Still needs ventilation
