i can't get my humidity down. it was fine before i put my eggs in but now it is 70 i have no water in there and have opened more holes? what else can i do?

now my humidity is ok but i can't get my egg temp down-----new problem

Just wait a couple days, and see if it goes down. If not put a dry washcloth in the bator. That might help bring down the humidity.

my temps are
100 air temp
100 egg temp
58 humidity which has just went down
how long can it go like this since i now have eggs in it? i put my eggs in around 5 sunday afternoon. is it something as simple as placement of eggs?

Where do you live? I am having similar problems in Iowa where it won't quit raining. Water in my basement has raised the humidity level to 72% in the basement. I actually think its dryer in the incubator

Sounds to me like the humidity is high in the room where the bator is.

i'm in missouri. now my egg temp is higher than my air temp. what am i doing wrong? i used missprissy's styrfoam idea and it's been doing real good for so many people. it was holding everything good before i put in my eggs now it's haywire. i have 12 bantam eggs in there. how long do i have to get this figured out and still get a hatch?

 

[dbrberry]

going nuts and afraid i'm doing something really wrong. don't wanna mess this up as it is my first time. this is almost as bad has having a baby

. I found that out myself today. My temps are at a steady 100* and all I have is my cells and a sponge in my bator. Oh, and this is my first hatch. So far 2 out of 4.
