What is the humidity at shelly?

Squirt a small amount...say 2 tablespoons of very warm water into the bottom of the incubator and your humidity will begin to some up immediately. I fixed my water container with a piece of tubing that comes through the incubator wall. I can add...or for that matter, subtract, water as needed. I used a syringe but you could use a basting syringe or an ear syringe...even one of those blue baby syringes for mucous when they are first born. If the humidity goes too high, I suck out most of the water until it starts to go down, then just add a little bit of warm...not hot...water.

It went down to 60% so I put a damp wash cloth in and got it back up to 63% and got a sneeky peek the chick had piped at the side of the egg I couldnt see and it was a big pip too, cant see anything happening on the others though.

Okay don't open it anymore though. Now your pip can take 24 hours to hatch. I've seen one do it in 2 hours though. Keep us posted.
