Natalie, I sure do realize about the humidity thing. Once upon a time, there was a gal here who spent quite a bit of time. Some will remember her. It was Angi Hanover. She has not been active for quite sometime, well, at least I don't see her posting. She was a hatcher of birds and she contended to use the dry incubation method. There is so much talk about dry versus humid. Wish that there was a set thing. I would think humid. I say this because beneath the body of the hatching bird mother, the moisture from the mother's skin would create a humid environment. Especially ducks. The ducks bathe many times a day when they are brooding, can't believe how clean they are. Yes, I am learning. The problem with my incubator is that it is an old style Sportsman, and I didn't get a manual with it, just winging it, reading all I can, I really need some lessons, smiling. Beautiful days, to live, love and share with others, health. Cindi
