You would be doing well with 75 to 80%. Once you put the eggs in do not open the hatcher for three days. Any hatched birds can last three days on their yolk sack.

If you are sure nothing has pipped you can open it quickly to grab a peep out of it but make sure nothing has pipped.

Best of Luck

Thanks see I was going to try a hatch with a homemade bator and need to find out the best thing to keep the humidity stable do you have any ideas on that
