Thanks guys! Lots of good information.

I live in a fairly humid area, so I thought about trying it as I had quite a few fully developed chicks that did not hatch. Heard it can improve rates if you have that issue.

I'm in Arkansas and I always dry incubate. Humidity here is so high they drowned if I don't. I do bump up the humidity once we go into lockdown to about 60%.

Same here, dry hatch until day 18 then bump it up to 50-70%. It’s winter and dry and I just had a great hatch.

Forgot to say, I’m in Missouri.

Do you add any water at all the first 18 days? Or do you keep it between 15-30%?
