LOL Yes, yorkshire coop. That was definitely the right thing to do.
Small air cells, I would run dry starting now. It may take 48 hours to increase the size running dry, or you may need to run dry until lockdown to improve the size. Then up the humidity normally for lockdown. I would check the air cells every 24 hours for confirmation and to know when to adjust it back. That is what I would do.
30-35% is much better. The low humidity incubation methods can be used in drier climates as well, you just may not be able to go totally dry. I prefer running totally dry, but like this last hatch for Easter, my bator only held about 16% totally dry,(I only run dry if it holds above 25%) so I added a wet sponge to keep it right at the 30% mark. The best way to tell if your humidity is good is by monitoring your air cells. In my signature at the bottom of my post is a blog article on the method I use if you are interested. I don't usually have a problem with air cells, and I swear by that method. (Providing of course the hatcher has accurate thermometers/hygrometer and a steady incubator.)50-55% I live in the desert so I was worried they'd get too dry
