September Hatch-A-Long!

Can anyone tell me why my humidity is 64% even though there's no water in it? (Still air LG bator). And how to get it lowered?

i had that exact issue. The only thing that helped was a dehumidifier next to the bator.

I just looked on up...they're expensive. I'm considering getting a GQF thermal air hova-bator.

I've heard of people putting in a bowl of rice. Never tried it.

Awhile back someone said something about foil but I don't know what they did with it. It was a few weeks ago.

Dinner must have been great tonight because Max's crop is twice the size as usual. Boy, can Max eat. Pork Chops, lettuce, potatoes and cookie. Ran out of ice creeam. Some one ate it all.

Max is still getting used to her jammies. I heard a noise in the other room and this is what I found.


The final 4 from the last hatch. Unfortunately one died this morning.




I love this picture.

The rice thing didn't work for me, and I had really high humidity since I live so close to the Atlantic Ocean. What did work was putting foil on the bottom of my bator, but since you don't have water in yours at all I don't know if that will work. Can't hurt to try.

I went to turn eggs this morning and found three chicks. Super early . 5 more pips. Expecting more when I wake up from my nap. Up really early to drug a egg deal in a dark parking lot this morning. So much for putting the hatchers away the winter.
