Dry incubating is with no water added at all. If you have 1/4 that's not dry incubation. But having your humidity in the correct range, is what matters.
My eggs do best with around 45% humidity the first 18 days, then up to 55-60% the last three. In hot, humid, typical summer weather here in KY, that means no water at all the first 18 days. In a dryer climate, that won't work. In the winter, when our air is dryer, I'll need to add water to stay around 40-45%.
