Hi! What would be your guys lowest humidity for the incubators?
I just got the farm innovators model 4250 incubator....whats everyones opinion on that one? Thanks!
 
I typically run dry. Do not add water until I get about 27% and then keep below 35%.
 
it really depends on the type eggs and your location. for chicken eggs i dry incubate (no added water the first 18 days), my humidity stays in the low to mid 30s, quail eggs tend to dry out, especially button quail so i run a wick pad and keep it in the mid to upper 40s the first 14 days for them. i try to keep it above 50 for hatching, i also just got my dedicated hatcher finished and it runs at 60 via a controller.
