Dry Hatch? Wet Hatch? Lockdown is tomorrow :O

Thank you!! I don't mind getting another -- I didn't know when I got the one I did, it was an impulse buy -- thank you so much for your help!!

Very welcome!

If you head to the Brinsea site, they have different sizes, and one now, the Brinsea Connect that you can monitor/change remotely. It's pretty wild as I was fishing in boat a state away from my eggs, but could look and see everything was fine. Had I been gone for lockdown, I could have shut off the rotating and raised the humidity from my phone. They have presets that would stop the rotating too, but you should really be home to take the racks out.

Sometimes Brinsea runs their own sales, but I'd check Amazon or elsewhere anyway as well.

lol I am so sold omg!

So far so good on day 1 of lockdown, lots of movement today but they seemed to have slowed down - not sure what that means - tomorrow is day 20!

It's been wild to keep it steady, and I don't open it. I've candled only 3x

I have lowered the humidity to 62 and holding steady for lockdown, happy to keep it 60-65 %

The eggs have already moved a little from where they were left so that's a good sign I think?? Don't know never done this before. Anyway, very excited and hoping for the best even though I only have 2 eggs and it could be a 0/5 event. (started with only 5)

I know it sounds dumb but I put a piece of this paper in the corner and put the vent to halfway and it’s sitting at 47-49% consistently. Idk might want to try it

Thanks for this! Lockdown was a different story and it was super easy to keep lockdown humidity's in the right area.

I discovered that incubation humidity just needs to be an AVERAGE over the 19 days to lockdown so it ended up okay.
