Yes I did, I put half a bag of rice in there and it still stuck at 56-57% 🤷♀️ was in there for 2 days.
Humidity only dropped when I removed some of the clear eggs.
Humidity has dropped to 49% after I removed some eggs from the incubator 🤔 the spike in humidity must be due to how many eggs are in the incubator.
I’m guessing if I removed more it would drop again.
Humidity at 49% still isn’t great but it’s far better than 57%!
Day 4 today, candled the eggs!
There was 9 clears but the rest are developing 🥳
There is also more developing in another incubator too.
As for humidity, it’s still sticking at around 55% now which is really annoying me.
I did try the rice in a bag as suggested but it didn’t do anything to...
That’s the only thing I can really think of too, something to do with the eggs 🤷♀️
The incubator was reading 45% before I put the eggs in then it shot up to 57%.
It’s been like that for three days with no decrease in humidity so I guess all I can do is hope it eventually does drop, or of it...
I’ve tested all my incubators and they all read correct from their own, also recalibrated the incubators themselves (I have a few of these incubators).
I’ve used this incubator before.
Before I set eggs in them, I let them run for 24 hours to get to the correct temps and humidity. It did go to...
Since day 1 (now on day 3) the incubator has been reading humidity at 52% - 57% 😩
When I remove the lid it goes down to 40% but as soon as I put it back on it’s back up to 57%.
Ive added no water at all to the incubator, tried opening and closing the vents, room windows, everything.
not...
I now have my new male for my hens and eggs are now fertilised! 🥳
After a poor start to the year, the first cockerel I bought was infertile, I’m hoping I’m now back on track and can take part in the hatch alongs properly!
Once I’ve got enough eggs collected up...on goes the incubator!
