Don't worry, ducks take their sweet time... I always lock down 5 days before hatch because of this

I am loving this new one, got off amazon, it has an app with an alarm and is calibratable one:

Govee Temperature Humidity Monitor, Indoor Bluetooth Thermometer Hygrometer Gauge, Wireless Temp Humidity Sensor with Alert, Data Export Thermometer Humidity for Home Garage Cigar Humidor Greenhouse:

Thank you!


I am now in lockdown with 6 eggs set to hatch on the 11th ones in the other incubator aren’t until the 17th. Can I ask what humidity does everyone keep at during lock down. I’ve been doing a “dry hatch” so it’s been lower this whole time

Mine are in lockdown D18. The humidity had been 25-30% throughout. The weight loss is an average of 11.5%. The humidity is 30% right now. I don't plan to increase it at this time, only maintain it.

I know I've asked you this already but I can't remember which incubators you're using. I set my humidity at 65% for hatch in my Nurture Right 360s and IncuView but 55% is a good percentage for styrofoam some even have luck with a little lower.
