Ive tried to find something on this but couldnt, so...

I cant seem to get the humidity up in my inccy, I filled both water channels with warm water, what else can I do?

A small, shallow dish of water

 

Damp kitchen roll

 

Wet dishcloth on top of the water channels but below the tray??

 

Good luck, not long now!

What % RH is it at?

 

A wet sponge and flannel is what I'd use

 

Try and be quick putting them in though, so you don't loose any humidity that is in there.

Ok, done that, will check it later .

Thank You

I just fill one channel in my Brinsea and don't check the humidity any more (I used to obsess over getting it right!). It always varies at different times of year or depending on outside conditions and doesn't make any difference to my hatch rates. The important bit is that there is a marked increase in humidity on day 18/19........or you can incubate dry.......a lot of people don't put any water in till day 18

Check the vent and close it a bit if you can (must stay at least a third open though)

 

Once the first chick hatches the humidity will shoot up anyway so dont worry unduly

Thanks again, I hve got the humidity up to about 55% now, have just put a little sponge in to hoick it up a bit more. As ive said before, (being a bit pessimistic about these eggs ) Im thinking of this as a practice run now so i can sort out any quirks or problems before i try another batch.

Just worked out what day you're eggs are on ( I need to keep up ). Day 18/19 I fill the 2nd trough and put strips of kitchen roll along to soak up some of the water. Humidity then goes up to about 55-65%.
