Need help on humidity control.

Hello, Its Shay again,
How do you tell what the humidity is fine, I put water in the bottom of my incubator, but I don't know if it is OK. There's nothing that tells me, Is it something you just, keep water in the bottom and it takes care of itself or is thee something I should have that tells me what is it.

You need a thermometer/ hygrometer that gives you the inside temps and humidity to run your incubator. It does not come with a incubator but has to be bought separately.

For humidity, readings should be from day 1 thru 18 at the 40 to 50% range nothing higher. Day 19 thru 21 you want to up the humidity reading to 60 to 70% range.

There are lots of brands Wal-marts have Accurites and Springfield. They are either in the garden section or the kitchen gadget dept.
