My humidity has been ALL OVER the place....I got up yesterday to 18% humidity. This morning, 29%, and I added water in the middle of the night! This is a Brinsea Ovation 28. The temp has never faltered, 99.5 to 99.6. Yesterday humidity ran in the 20s, 40s, and 50s...
I’m so scared I’m in got a Freinkenstein hatch!!

With constant temps like that, slight humidity fluctuations won't hurt anything.

Me? Hatching like a mad woman
Sorry for your losses. How are you liking the Brinsea? Other than humidity issues...



second??

Only done a few hatches so far this year, but going strong now. I'm selling most incubated chicks, and keeping ones my broodies raise.
I did hatch 17 of 18 BCM eggs shipped from SC! The 18th quit a few days before lockdown. I sold 6, keeping 11 for now..
I'm hatching a couple dozen or so a week now. Bantam cochins, seramas, have some cream legbars for myself cooking at the moment, a few turkeys. Today just set some white bantam Ams, seramas and cochins. And Call ducklings....

WV that’s fantastic! All those little babies.. this Brinsea is spot on with the temp, but it for not have humidity control, of course there are the reservoirs to add the water in, but, still! I don’t want Freinkenstein babies!

Whew..what should I aim for on humidity? 30?45%? But, yeah, there’s no turn it on and walking away, if I wasn’t home all day it would have went bonkers..

What does it stabilize without any water at all?

If you get a chance, check out my new thread, Myth Busters, BYC style. I am testing washed vs unwashed hatching eggs at the moment.

It shot down in the teens (humidity).
