Question on Humidity with it being so cold

[DouglasPeeps]

I am incubating my eggs in one of our bathrooms. It is very dry here and I couldn't get the humidity up enough. So, I set it up in a bathroom and put a humidifier in there. Seems to be working. Not sure what other choice there is when it is so dry.?????

You would not believe how well the wet paper towels bring up the humidity!! It works better than using sponges or socks or anything else I have tried.

I hesitate to try this while I am currently incubating.

What do you think?

It couldn't hurt, at worst you would just have to take the paper towels out if the humidity got too high.

Ok I think I have it, I need to go buy Paper towels.

I have another topic on here that starts with 'What do you do if you can't remember? Bad news no,. Now GOOD NEWS'

I will keep you all updated there with pics of more then one fuzzy butt, I hope.

Do you have a towel on the incubator? That REALLY helped me get the humidity up in mine.I just draped a towel over it without blocking the vent holes. Both plugs are in.
I also ordered my RCom 20 today.
