What do people do about the humidity when storing eggs?

I'm also curious as to what incubators people will be using this year.

Inadequate again! I did nothing, we have central air so the house temp is pretty steady at 70 degrees all summer, but the central air lowers the humidity level and I did nothing to compensate during storage. I had never seen any info advising how to handle humidity during storage, so I assumed it wasn't an issue until they started to develop. I had really good hatch rates so it didn't seem to hurt them, I will be using a dinky little hova bator genesis. I generally sell more eggs than I incubate. I don't want to hatch that many, I get too attached and want to keep them all.

Again, here is my incubator

Quote: Humidity in my house is about 25% right now and it's so dry my skin feels like it's going to fall off! My incubator is an RCOM and it only holds 10 eggs, so 10 in it, broodies for the others and I guess I'll sell or eat the rest.

Yeah I know the feeling, we have humidifiers in our bedrooms so we don't have nose bleeds all the time. And then in summer it's so humid it's like walking around under water. I think I can cram a maximum of 22 in the hova bator. Hubby mentioned tonight that he thinks we should take the summer off and not hatch any, I'm not too thrilled with that idea, so I guess we'll be doing some negotiating.

I
'm going to use an incubator any advice?

What advice are you looking for?

We don't do anything for humidity during storage. If the farm building is cool they sit out on a turner. If the temps are over about 70 they go into a cheap wine fridge that came from Walmart. It is set at 60.

 

[margaret8]

The humidity is 65% in the incubator The temp is 39.5 C it is the same for peas as it is for guineas. It also has an automatic egg turner. I need to know if there is anything else I need to do for pea eggs?
