We are incubating for the first time with our new Genesis 1588. We followed the directions and our humidity level ranged from 50-52 percent the first 17 days. Today is day 18 so we added water to the second tray and made sure both trays were full. The humidity only came up to 58 percent. Everything I've read says the humidity should be up to a minimum of 65 percent during lockdown. Should we add some wet sponges or leave it at 58 percent? Also the pics with our instructions show eggs and chicks lying directly on the wire floor. I'm afraid if I put a paper towel down over the wire it may block humidity from the water tray underneath. Please help.
Thanks,
Thanks,
