need help Incubating!

[buff_the_rooster]

:/ I am new to BYC, but was hoping for some help incubating eggs. I have a forced air incubator with a turner. Temp is stable at 99.5, but I have no clue on humidity. What should it be?

How do I tell what it is? I have 3 thermometers in incubator to make sure temp is good. Any tips would be great!

A full incubator so I dont want to lose them.

All my eggs have coloring. I have Brahmas, Australorpes, Marans and a couple bantam eggs.Eggs are dark and hard to candle.
Hoping hatching goes well, I want to add Silkies, Stars and Faverolles to my collection!

To check the humidity, you will need a hygrometer. It registers the % of humidity in the incubator. I got mine on ebay for about $15. shipped.

There have been numerous discussions on this site about hygrometers. Do a search, and you should be able to find an entire evenings worth of reading. I picked up a Springfield thermometer/hygrometer at Wally world for under $10.00, which proved to be quite accurate.
