Double post? On the pictures? I'm trying to figure out who the rooster is. Frustrating like nothing other.
So I'm setting up the incubator right now. I poured water in the water holders in the bottom, and stuck the temp/humidity thing inside, just turned it on. Do I need to put sponges in the water rings or just water.
That will likely be too much water---it does not take hardly any to get it to 35

Another way that works for lockdown---chookschick I think is the one that has this incubator cheat sheet with tips--you wad up papertowel and stuff them in the water channels then wet it down, that really get the humidity up and it stays pretty level. I will try to find a link and post it for you.
