Dry incubatiom for me is I don't add any water unless my humidity goes below 20 percent. Rarely does it ever. But if it does I just add a tablespoon or so of water.

When day 18 for chicken eggs comes about I raise humidity to 70 to 80 percent for hatch.

Most that dry incubate try for 30 to 40 percent humidity for incubation. But this will vary with region you are in.

It was a lot of trial and error for me.

Baby #3 is doing better. She absorbed her Yolk and is getting around okay. This is the egg I accidently justled at lock down. She's not out of the woods yet but her 2 siblings seem to be encouraging her.

Going to start up some Easter egger eggs on Wednesday. Going to do dry incubation again. Lesson learned. Don't jostle eggs!
