thanks ive had my humidity around the 60s for the past 2 weeks of incubating and know i now it was supposed to be around the 30s i cant get it downJust catching up, maybe someone already answered. Most incubators come with directions as to what temps and humidity to use. Most will say to keep humidity in the mid 50's. Dry hatch doesn't necessarily mean no humidity at all, but using a whole lot less! Especially in the beginning. . . Use around low 20's to low 30's. Remember, the first couple of days, those eggs are going to be losing a lot of moisture themselves. The humidity will fluctuate at first. So, I usually only start with the 20's range. Helps especially with shipped eggs, as those air cells are already compromised, there may be a lot that will have high sacs. Having the humidity up high, will allow them to keep rising even higher. Also, on temps. Trying to keep that temp in the range that is suggested? If for some reason, those temps go up, which can happen easily with the still airs, then those eggs will be highly compromised too. Better the temps lower than suggested, than getting too hot! The temps will also change, like the humidity when the eggs are first put in, so, dont...tweak that still air bator. Have it running the day before, set around 100... for still airs ...usually the ones with fans have a set temp. No tweaking. I am using one of those for this set of eggs I just got. I had it running last night. I had the humidity in the 20's, and since it's already set for temp...I lifted the lid a few times during the morning until the eggs felt warm. Didn't want them warming up too fast..Again, my 2 cents, and what works best for me here.
