Hi Y'all! this is my first time trying to hatch my own eggs. I have a Genesis 1588 with auto turner, I thought this is the easiest to use from what I've read on this site. But I have a few questions:
even though the temperature is exactly 100 degrees (I have 2 thermometers, 1 digital and 1 regular) as well as it's supposed to be preset at 100, the humidity is my issue.
my digital thermometer also has a humidity gauge. It only said 36% humidity, when I had water in the center area only. I tried to get it up before adding the eggs. I poured in more water to the surrounding areas, then added the eggs. The humidity got up to 65%. I took it all apart (the eggs had only been in for an hour) took out all the water and put more water into the center section only. I figured they said to only put it in the middle for a reason. I quickly added the eggs back, they were out less than 5 minutes.
Did I already screw up my first hatch? this is why I only started with 6 eggs!!
How exact does the humidity need to be?
