Lock down humidity help

[won023]

I'm on day 20 at the moment and am preparing for day 25 where lockdown is a factor but however I'm not sure how I'm meant to increase the humidity do I put wet towels? And what should I lose it down to during that time period?
Thanks

@WVduckchick....

Your tag doesn't look like it actually worked... sometimes they don't.

@WVduckchick Mine looks like it will, because it's blue.

Hi, welcome to BYC!

I use the bottom wells in my incubator. But many folks will use a wet sponge. Those who use small containers, remove them before hatch to prevent drowning.

Good luck!

Wet sponges are great! What kind of incubator are you using? Sometimes sponges aren't enough and dry out quickly, depending on your local conditions (where you live, and inside your house)

thanks @EggSighted4Life for fixing the tag

Janoel 12,And wondering what temperature do I lower it too at the moment it's 37.5 @WVduckchick

 

[WVduckchick]

37.5 is fine. No need to lower the temp.

I've seen that incubator, but not greatly familiar with it. Does it have a fan?

And what breed of ducks are you incubating?

yes it does have a fan I'm just worried as I saw online if the humidity isn't high enough then they could die so trying to find the best ways to help the humidity
