[@jessicaayala404]

How do you get the humidity down?

[@ourlifesimplified]

Im not sure where you are in the process... but if you filled the water reservoir too full and/or the vent is not open where it should be, then the Humidity could be off. Humidity is controlled by how full the water reservoir is and the vent control in the back...

[@JD-dh7bk]

I have this incubator. My chicks are due to hatch in 7 days.

[@ourlifesimplified]

That is so egg-citing! Mine are due around May 7th!

[@JD-dh7bk]

@@ourlifesimplified Yes it is!!!! 🥚🐣🐤🐥 Good Luck!

[@ourlifesimplified]

@J D good luck to you too!

[@ericdaozero]

I'm using this same incubator. I have no manual. How do I get in to change the temperature? Thank you.

[@ourlifesimplified]

I seem to have misplaced the manual myself. Let me go back and watch the full version Incubating Eggs video I made and see if I mention it in that video.

[@ourlifesimplified]

I tried to go back and watch the video (as this was recorded last year) and I mentioned that it should be a factory preset temperature of 99.5 degrees. So I'm not sure how to 'change the temperature' otherwise. If I remember correctly, the vent, on the back of unit, may have played a role in not only humidity, but temperature. The level of the water plays a role in humidity. I do remember after the chicks hatched and they were drying out, the temp alarm went off at 3 in the morning saying it was too hot. Are you having issues with too hot or too cool? What day in the process are you in?

[@ericdaozero]

I figured it out. Press and hold the Menu/Ok for 3 seconds then you will be in temperature/day change mode. Thanks.

[@ourlifesimplified]

@@ericdaozero Great to hear!!! I am still trying to search for my manual! I can't believe I misplaced it!

[@Diego-om8uc]

I’m using this to hatch some polish and silkies🤩excited

[@ourlifesimplified]

That is super exciting!!! Positive vibes for a successful hatch rate!!
