Great hatch!
I have a dickey (deluxe version) and a few questions for you.
Did you have to adjust the line/pipe (for want of a better word that lets the water into the pan to get the humidity to what you wanted it to be? How did you do that?
I bent mine but wondered if that is such a good idea. I ended up just filling it by hand and wondered why I bothered buying the pail.

No, I didn't adjust the hose for the water or the level of the water in the pan. I just figured that it was surface area that mattered, and not amount of water in the pan, so I just left it. I adjust the humidity by the vent holes and for the last three days of hatching, I put in a big sponge sideways so that it increased the surface area. it seemed to work. my hatching humidity was 65 %.

I forgot about the surface area...of course. I did use the vents as well.
Thanks
