I went into lockdown last night. I have a hovabator 1588. I filler both water trays last night and put into lockdown. My humidity is only about 58%. What do I do? Should I open the lid and add wet wash cloths? Should I leave it alone?

I have a line of aquarium tubing running into the largest water tray so I can add water without opening but it is completely full. No pips yet... Should I open and add cloths?

16 marans pipped (that I can see) and a bunch of yokohamas... This is as fun as Christmas, like opening presents, even has the miracle of birth

6 so far, I love incubating, still have forty plus more to go, and I'm planning the next batch...
Heeheehee
Is anybody else doing anything?

Hanging out with the 4 year old and morning java. Nothing going on in incubator but I keep sending her over to look and listen every 10 minutes. I think it's going to be a long day...

It's only day 20 but reading all the posts in incubating forum having pips and early chicks is giving me hatchers envy.

Congrats blkwdw

Thought I'd heard peeping but kept telling myself it was the birds outside. It's official, not one but two pips and they are from the shipped Blue Plymouth Rocks

Any more pips, egghead_jr? 18 marans 4 yokos so far
