Nuture Right 360- Shoe String Method

[winterwolf4]

I usually try not to go over 55 when hatching, but I see people go to around 70, I assume the fluctuations would be o.k. but I'm just not sure.

I do know for me and where I live, I have a better hatch rate and less problems when humidity is lower.

I will wait and see if the humidity drops naturally through the night otherwise I will fix it in the morning.

Update: Day 20
I have 4 to 5 external pips. At 68.3% humidity on the Grovee and 64% on the NR 360.

Thanks for all the information! I am hatching ducklings next. During that time we are going to be gone for about 36 hrs. I will have someone stop by to check on my other animals but she won't be able to keep checking on the incubator. So I was looking into this method so hopefully I wont have to worry about them for that day or so.
