My first time I followed the directions on my Genesis 1588 and had wayyyyy too much humidity. I since learned about the dry hatch method. So I only add afew drops in my Genesis to try and keep it between 20-30 perecent. Its not always there but I don't much worry about it. I move them to my Brower for hatching so lockdown is done there. I can't seem to get the humidity in there to go high. They are hatching now, three are out so it seems to be ok.

I know...I have had only one egg that was fully formed. He pipped but then died. I did not open his shell because I knew what he looked like. I think it's the science-lover in me that wants to see the formation process.

I was mostly worried about the smell.

I see..I thought of that after I wrote... There was very little smell in my experience..breathe through your mouth! LOL

I really like the dry way. I used to worry SO much about the humidity level, it was crazy and I made myself crazy too!. Now, I set the eggs and forget about them until they hatch.

Congrats. Now the waiting for the other eggs to hatch. It gets very nerve wracking constantly checking the incubator, I should know
