no hygrometer

[elmi]

I have a hygrometer/temperature meter but the part that measures the humidity is in the unit itself and the sensor that measures the temperature i can but in my incubator. i can't fit the unit in my tiny incubator so i cannot measure humidity and i started lockdown today. what should i do ?

Is there anyway you could get a smaller one? I would just add a bit more water then what they had before

Raise the humidity and hope for the best.

i dont know if they sell smaller ones at the shop near me. i have the water well filled up and a wet piece of paper in there. there is no condensation on the incubator but i think that is because of the fan, right ?

Did you check the air cells before lock down?

 

[elmi]

yes, they seemed alright.

Then they should be okay. Hens don't have hygrometers and the hatch about 70% of their eggs.
