Thank you so much! Im having a major problem with out of control high humidity in lockdown... finding out it’s the SURFACE AREA of the water that adjusts the humidity just solved it, you may have just saved 20 of my chickens!

[@JanInShenyang]

Wow, I have seen many video's about incubator humidity now, but not even one that explained that humidity depends on the surface of the water, not on the total volume of water. Since watching this I was able to bring down my humidity to below 60%. I hope the first 3 days which were higher than 75% are not going to ruin my first incubating results. Any ideas? Thanks!

[@bornepic1626]

You said it simple and clear, thanks for the good info!

[@joannayelley1115]

Thank you. This was very helpful.

[@hillscleaning7]

Hi thank you for your video, also the humidity affects the temperature?

[@albemech]

Thxs. I was about to send my incubator back cause i was doing it wrong.

[@libbylee8192]

1:30 PM. Do you ever dry hatch ?

[@BahianoReno]

Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@johnnganga4885]

It's awesome.where can i buy humidity meter ?

Thanks for sharing your info. Blessings!

[@whippee2]

good video thanks. do you use warm water?

[@MustaphaAbdulkadir-xr9wr]

my question is how can I use htc2 thermo hygrometer

[@rafayelgrigoryan5771]

my incubator humidity is 75% and I dont know what to do! can you give advice ?

[@041712sasuke]

thanks for the info,well said 😊😊😊

[@007teenage]

Please tell me how to calibrate my incubator ???

[@fernandoalvarez3891]

I made a homemade bearded dragon incubator I have a 56 qt tub with a water heater I can adjust the heat but the humidity is too high how can I adjust it

[@chesamabbas4638]

Humidity signal is automatic twinkle and growing a sound,,and I add some water,,after this what will be the result

[@micheler3011]

Thanks for sharing your info.

[@bolajiadeleke3554]

I discovered that my incubator humidity is rising and I don't know how to set it back to Normal. I have once set it to 55-60

[@rebekah613]

Will too high humidity ruin the process?

[@abominablesnowman64]

I'm having trouble keeping the humidity high. Its day 3 and the humidity is at 48.

[@brAmbedkarvadheemusalmaan]

I have 55 -57% humidity for a kartain box ( placed inside is 2 chicken eggs) and today 6th day is over and 7th day is starting. Is this humidity okay? Snd temp varies from 35-37.7 degree celcius. Is this humidity okay or should I reduce it?

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

Try to keep humidity 35 to 40 % until they start to hatch then raise to 65 while hatching

[@joellopez8587]

My incubator doesnt have water at all and its still high at 75 degrees what can i do to lower it

[@AlohaQuails]

Your incubator should be at 95.5 degrees F for hatching quails. Your humidity is how much water is in the air and is measured by a percentage. 75% is very high but will go down as the incubator warms up. LEt it run for 5-6 hours and check the humidity again. Then you can see if it needs water or not. Start with a small surface are wait a couple of hours and check again. Then add more if needed. Keep doing this untill you have the correct amount.

[@bornepic1626]

I think he means humidity

[@MrPardeepsidhu]

@@AlohaQuails you start your incubator without water and check after 2 hour than u add some water and check it its easy way to control humidity

[@carlosquezada553]

Ok, I been having problems controlling my humidity. It could be because I put water all over on the base

[@AutumnLeesLife]

My fiance only added water to #1 we just started our process yesterday should I put more water in?

[@AlohaQuails]

You have to check to see what percentage your humidity is at, if its to low add water to another channel.

[@AutumnLeesLife]

Aloha Quails okay thank you

[@nandiphankosi5948]

Hi Sir please help what to do if its high?​@@AlohaQuails

[@aloo1niang]

Hi right now I am in west Africa and I am in hatch day (16) and I have 93% humidity in the air.How % can I set my incubator for good hatch.Thanks.

[@jonb6364]

Hello. If you had ONLY two choices of 99 degrees Fahrenheit OR 100 degrees Fahrenheit on your forced air incubator which would you choose for Mandarin duck eggs?

[@smoshcom100]

100 cus if u put it at 99 then the incubator will stop at 99 and turn back on when it reaches 98 as especially cheaper ones don’t maintain a consistent temp so if u chose 100 is will reach 100 then turn off and it will stay between 99 and 100

[@boiniraju9519]

Hi sir,i have a quails Incubator. I put eggs in the trays and fill the normal water in the bottom box every time humidity shows 70-75% but my requirement is 45-50% for quails incubation how can I set that level of humidity in my incubator and I kept that in room. Could you suggest me Sir?

[@AlohaQuails]

Boini raju fill less space, it it one tray or many trays for water. ? If only one tray you may need to find a smaller one to put inside to decrease the surface area.

[@boiniraju9519]

Yes I removed total water from trays in the bottom but again it shows 70%,decreased only 3-4%

[@daanishaseels7606]

My Incubutor’s humidity is at 99% it has been running for a week and has only 10 ml water in it what should I do

[@AlohaQuails]

You have to decrease the surface area of the water. Either use a smaller container or add pebbles to the tray.m

[@HeatedFilms]

Increase ventilation to the incubator to decrease humidity

[@mamapeach9244]

Me too,,86% humidity

[@lesliedryden5]

I'm so confused 😂 I'm in Texas and mine has 6 channels

[@micheler3011]

Do you add warm water all the time?

[@AlohaQuails]

about once every 4 days, untill they go into lock down (last 3 days) then i fill the first 3 channels all the way and the 4th one about 1/4 of the way

[@CrisdeeLuDeen]

@@AlohaQuails so it's okay to add/reduce water as needed at the beginning while they are not in lockdown?

[@mariesheppard3750]

My chicks are hatching now but the Humidity is at 80 I want to lower it to 65 or so ??How do I get it down. I also have other eggs that will not hatch for another 2 weeks in there

[@racingrivals8934]

Marie Sheppard you can place a dry sponge to suck the moisture out of the incubator

[@lindashay3480]

Or skip putting water in the bottom and fill a sponge with water. Works for me.

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

Don’t do anything let the chicks hatch. High humidity keeps them from sticking in there shells at hatch. Humidity will go back down once they all hatch. Your remaining eggs wont be affected enough to matter. Have fun.

[@andreipop5915]

my water was evaporated for about 2 days and I have not noticed .what will happen? i heve goose eggs

[@AlohaQuails]

I’m not sure what the humidity needs to be for goose eggs, but you need to add water every few days to keep the % right. It’s ok to open the incubator it’s no different then the mother getting up to eat or drink, just don’t keep it open longer then a couple of minutes at a time.

[@andreipop5915]

thank you 🙏

[@argentvixen]

Thanks. Great tip. What's your average hatch rate?

[@AlohaQuails]

If we baby the incubator we can get as high as 95, average is around 87. Because we don’t buy eggs, we tend to use our IDGAF method and get 70%

[@richardcrable7184]

I have to store my eggs for 5 to 7 days to get enough to incubate. How do I keep temperature and humidity correct while storing?

[@MuhammadAmin-xe2cz]

I have had 24 egg Incubater my humidity remains 25 the sound signal keeps on sounding and does not stop What action should I take to increase the humidity and stop the sound signal thanks for the

[@sporttalk1405]

How do you maintain the humidity mine keeps dropping

[@AlohaQuails]

ZoNo Ashes that will happen as water evaporates. You can add more water every few days to keep the levels right. If your incubator has vent holes you can try blocking one of them with tape to trap more moist air inside.

[@azharsayyed4937]

Sir How to decrease humidity in incubator. Before 5days 75%Humidity how to decreas humidity

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

Allow more fresh air to get into incubator. Open more vents. Have less water surface are inside the incubator. Try covering half your water channels in a styrofoam incubator with a pice of thin plastic. If the humidity outside your incubator is high is the room you have it. Then you may need to move it to another location. For instance it would be hard to get incubator humidity to 40% if outside room air is 65%. I like to run my incubator at 35 to 40% humidity for first 18 days for chicken eggs. Then 65 to 70 for hatch. I prefer a spare room of the house where temperature and humidity are more stable. Give the the incubator at least an hour to stabilize humidity before adjusting anything. A un insulated garage isn’t good choice for a location. An egg should loose 14% of weight the first 18 days to achieve proper egg air cell size for hatch. If you don’t you will have many fully developed chicks that never hatch. I don’t care what your local humidity is. I always run these numbers. I cant remember where i read this theory but it works great. I’ve hatched over a thousand chicken eggs now. And have built a few cabinet incubators.

[@pattywirth4854]

I'm having problems with the humidity being too high like 69% and we are just on day 2 ! How do I lower the humidity?

[@lallorona6014]

Open 1 plug on the top or 2. 1 open plug at all times to let in oxygen. Don't give up. You need to stop turning the eggs the last 3 days on hatching time or you can drown the chick. Humidity needs to be around 65. I'n hatching time is very important not to open the incubator because it will let out the humidity, and dry the eggs, and the chick won't be able to hatch. I start my eggs at 99.8 and turn it down to 99.5 on the last 3 days to keep the chicks from getting stressed. This is a method I used to call out the week eggs before hatching.
