Nurture Right 360 High Humidity

[Schmidt Hill Farm]

I just got a Nurture Right 36O. I followed the instructions to a T but as soon as I turned it on it’s saying 99% humidity. I want to make sure everything is working correctly before I put eggs in it. Will the humidity go down or is there something I need to do to fix it?

Where is the temp currently reading? Give it time to adjust its temp and as temp goes up the humidity will also go down. I usually run for at least 3 hours before adding eggs.. but maybe even 24 hours on a brand new bator..

Completely dry with no water in the wells *usually* sees about 30% lower humidity inside the bator compared to ambient humidity in the room.

Alternatively.. if the read out doesn't change maybe it's broken 99% humidity is full condensation on the walls.

Practice patience.. required for ALL hatching!

When i started my nuture right it was at 40 percent humidity right out of the box.
Id give it 24 hours with the vent fully open and see if it changes

Did you wash it or wipe inside down at all maybe you have gotten some water/moistier on sensor. I would give it a bit and see what happens if it doesn't change you may have a faulty unit. Because at 99% humidity it would look like a rainstorm inside.
