I have an incubator and a hatcher going. The incubator has been going nonstop, it seems, since February. So Im on day 20 for a batch of eggs, and I have them in the hatcher. I upped the humidity to 60%, the humidity in the incubator is about 40%. So I heard a peeper, ran to the hatcher...no peeper. Wha??? Figured I must have been hearing things, went back...heard it again, a peeper! Went to the hatcher, looked again (just in case I missed it the first time)...no peeper. I looked in the incubator...there it was!! I dont know what happened, I have staggered hatches going on in there, and I must have left an egg in there when moving them, but she hatched as cleanly and as perfectly as a chick can hatch.
So the point of this whole thing is, perhaps humidity being so high isnt as important as was thought previously. Ive had far more problems with hatches when the humidity was too high then with it being too low.
