Wet eggs in incubator

[Tenesexx]

I'm hatching 35 quails eggs and I've heard it's not good for eggs to get wet while incubating however the water evaporates and wets one side of my eggs what can I do about it it's the first day of incubation

Take all of the water out of the incubator and dry off the eggs. You will probably need to do a dry hatch if there is that much humidity in it.

Hello
As I can see from the pictures, this incubator looks like a janoel12, sometimes if it generates condensation on the sides, it happened to me too. I solved it as follows: Take 2 pieces of electric wire of about 2mm (0.08inch), which is not rigid, which are flexible, and put it on each central side just on the edge of the closure, i.e. when you put the cover on top It is buttoned. This generates a space of 2 millimiters in the closure, but being flexible, it is not very large. This will better dissipate moisture and stabilize better around 50% and will not condense on the eggs or sides.

Thank you so much

Isnt dry hatching bad or does it not affect the eggs at all?

It would be a very good idea to verify the actual temp and humidity inside the incubator with a trusted/calibrated thermometer/hygrometer.

I usually don't get condesation building up in my incubator until I'm around or above 70% humidity....

Maybe I put too much water ... I'll out less next time

No janoel 12 it's this I dont know name

Humidity is actually not what's important... having the proper air sac size inside the egg at lockdown is what's important. More or less humidity is what affects the size of the air sac.

Higher humidity creates a small air sac, less humidity creates a larger air sac.

The most accurate way to know what humidity you need is to track the weight of the eggs throughout the first 14 days of incubation. They should lose 12% of their weight through the first 14 days.

For me, 32% humidity gives me a 12% loss in weight. I used to hatch at 50% humidity and I always had a couple splayed and curled toe chick's. This is a common issue with too high of humidity. Since incubating at 32% I haven't had any...

What happens if you dont put any water in the first 14 days??and lockdown you do will it be any different
