just hatched

[archerobx]

This is my first time and I just realised I forgot something.
The bator has been in lock down for 4 days now and I havent added any water the humidity is 34%
A chick just hatched, was going to keep them in bator for 2 days and never thought about what the humidity should be for ones that just hatched,
any info would be great,
Thank you
Ryan

I would add water but I am also a newbie! I just finished my first hatch!

how did it go

Add water WITHOUT opening the bator. I use the vent hole on top and stick a bendy straw through, then use a syringe to squirt water down the straw. It works really well. Just be sure to use warm water.

If you can't do it without opening it, then get a washcloth good and wet, zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds, and pop it in the bator really quick.
