Hi dottiefoal ~ I just successfully hatched my first clutch of new guinea fowl eggs. I did not add any water to the incubator. I turned the incubator on to a temperature of 99 degrees and the humidity was at 41 degrees without adding any water before I placed the eggs. Our weather has been mostly rain here in Washington, so I figured I didn't need to add any water until lockdown. At lockdown, I added a tiny bit of hot water and raised it to around 59. The humidity remained steady even after the keets hatched. My answer would be if you know what your normal humidity is in your area, you may be able to dry hatch just fine. You could always place a dampened sponge, if you think it's too dry.
Happy Hatching!
