Lockdown - humidity at 65% - hatch day tomorrow!

[SarniaTricia]

Hi all
My first hatch with a Hova-Bator.
My humidity is at 65% - with lock down stared THursday.
Hatch day is expected to be Saturday+Sunday.
Am I ok with this percentage?


Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Patricia

if you are just setting them....NO it needs to be between 35-45% until they go in to lock down then 65% should be ok

Mine just hatched on the 3rd and the humidity was between 65-80%... It went up as the babies were hatching but I forgot to unplug a second hole to vent & I think that's why. Either way they all hatched awesomely & it didn't seem to bother them.

I'm crazy excited.
I heard peeping today.
Tomorrow is hatch day!
I have all sorts of things planned to keep me occupied so I don't sit beside the incubator and watch........and fuss.... and basically loose my mind wondering what is taking so long!
