Rabid 1,936 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Ha, that's an endless question pal, it depends on so many things, where it is running, the room, Windows, doors, droughts, etc etc, all make a difference, but as rule of thumb, I put no water in any of my incubators now, I did, but the eggs were just not loosing enough water, so I run them totally dry and having some good hatches now, I find my house and buildings seem to have a high enough humidity as it is.

Atb Should have added I transfer my eggs into a separate hatcher, and I do add water to that, my hygro says its just under %, not sure how accurate that is though, it's the point I get the best hatching.
