60% is exactly what mine is at and it's fine. Most people agree that 55-60% is ideal. The humidity will increase as the chicks hatch as well. Just don't open the incubator!

That's a lot of wet surface area to only have 60% humidity. What kind of incubator are you using?

Nothing new to report yet. This is always the hardest part for me. Trying to be patient after the first pip.

Sitting on my hands, etc.

I made my incubator out of a foam cooler with a wooden lid and window. Not at all pretty but functional. This was my way to liven up the way too long winter.

Ahhh ok.

Well as long as it's holding 60% give or take a little I wouldn't worry about it.
