I'm eastish of you; bet you have been having humid weather too. Have been reading a great deal and I ound info on humidity; easier maybe to track wet bulb temperature. With some research you too can find the details (see the notes in the sticky) the real importance of the % RH is complicated and very important to the success of the hatch.Too much causes problems as does too much; they work together. Find a good picture of the air cell as it increases due to drying. That is the most important part,really, not the exact % RH. Need the chick to be small enough to twirl around with out bing sticky.

Good luck.

There is a good diagram here:
