Please help, humidity mystery

[Gazinga]

ok, i have 12 turkey eggs in a LG bator. THe humidity is at 60 and some times spikes to 65!!!!

The mystery..........THERES NO WATER IN THE DARN THING!

I mean not a drop! anywhere! SO, how do i bring it down, what causes this?

Are all your vents open and is your hygrometer calibrated?

 

[greathorse]

wouldnt call 60 to65 a spike necessarily. I would verify that my hygrometer is good. Have you opened your vents?

 

[Gazinga]

yes, and yes

 

[TriciaHowe]

Well, you have me stumped! Other than leaving your vents open and obviously not adding water I'm not sure.....what day are they on?

 

[Gazinga]

im on day 3, when is the humidity most important to be dead on, is it early on or later in teh process when it is mosty important?

not really calling it spike at all, just cant figure out why its at 65% without any water in it. And i need to get it down to 45ish%

I've never hatched anything but chickens and quail so nt sure about when is most important or for that matter what the humidity should be. But if your humidity is up with no water in the bator, just wondering what the humidity is outside the bator?
