Use of humidity packs to regulate incubation humidity?

[Kiki]

I've heard that uncooked rice will help bring it down. I haven't tried it.

Wow! Those are really cool. So would the eggs have to be inside the little pack? I'm with you @WVduckchick if anything my humidity runs too high even running the incubator dry.

Oh I didn’t even pay attention to that. If that’s the case, it won’t work. The eggs need to breathe!

I have not used them but read on here where someone used those packs that come with items to keep humdity down... I don't remember the name of them but they say' don't eat' on them.
People have used dehumidifier in the room too.. I can't deal with humdity so the house is air conditioned

At first glance it looks like the lowest it will get to is 62%???

I saw that too, so they would really only be useful for the last 3 days of hatching. The packs should last that long with ventilation in the incubator.

I know uncooked rice has worked when my cell phone has had an "accident." Not that I would ever be clumsy enough to drop my phone in water....

Those packs are not designed to work at the temperatures that are in an incubator. They are designed to work in a humidor or similar setting. They are not expected to work with the amount of air exchange there is in an incubator.

From what I understand you just place the bag inside the incubator, then proceed as normal
