I would love to set the incubator like that but unfortunately the temperature I have to set higher to get the rite temperature I’m actually using extra hygrometers in it

So I’m doing everything that you mentioned but I have had the humidity rite around 60-65% and I’m on day 16 and the temperature at 100.5 is that to high ? The baby is doing great so far and I have it in with my black Cayuga duck eggs.

It all depends on what it's reading inside the incubator with your extra thermometer/hydrometer inside the incubator. The actual incubator readouts are never correct in my experience. You want around 99.5 inside. I keep my humidity between 35 and 45% for sebastopol and bump to 65 or 70% at day 26. Hatch is usually day 29 or 30.

Hopefully, we can get @Pyxis to comment.

I myself wouldn't want the humidity that high until lockdown. For my area, that would be much too high and I'd have the goslings drowing before they hatch. I prefer 35% myself as I find that's what works best.

@Angeladukes40 Have you been candling? What do the air cells look like? That will tell you if the humidity is right or not.
