Low humidity during lockdown

[bgill1215]

So I'm incubating geese eggs. Humidity has Been 45-55% through incubation. Which if perfect. Today is lockdown and I can not get the humidity higher than 55%!? I'm using the little giant still air incubator with a calibrated thermometer and hygrometer. I've filled up all 4 channels with water. What do I do??

Increase the surface area of the water. Can you put in a cookie sheet or something along those lines? I am not familiar with the LGs.

I do not know from experience but have read about others putting a wet sponge or spritzing the eggs with water.

Thank you. I got it to a steady 65% with a sponge. Which I'm not complaining about. I may add another sponge to increase it to 70%

That's good. I'm glad you got it to go up some.
