LG incubator humidity question

[TK Poultry]

I finally found a method that works for me. I put the incubator in my closet on a shelf (I have a whole set up in there) I keep the wells filled to the top, and have both of the red things in and I have been running 50%-60% all the time. I will try the cloth thing for lockdown day

Thanks for this. Those LG are temporous. The Brinsea is on my wish list but no one has made it come true yet

CHeck out the LG thread--many of us us the LG just fine. Every small incubtor has minor issues that you need to work with. See you over at the LG thread!

I have used a home made styrofoam incubator to hatch chickens and pheasants, and this year I bought an LG still air from a friend to try. I did a dry hatch. I only added water when the humidity went below 25%. I added water on day 14 and again on day 16. Only added one or two teaspoons and the humidity would go up to 30-31 and after a few days go down to 25. On day 19 I took paper towels and soaked them in a glass, didn't wring them out, then put them in the water channels in the bator. Right now the humidity is 74% with one plug out, and I have 7 or 8 chicks hatched. You can see them here.......http://www.blogtv.com/people/alschickens
