Incubator/Hatchrite Question

I'm not expecting eggs anytime too soon, but I want to set up at least one of my incubators to make sure that it works right, and that I can maintain some good temp/humid levels.

I was wondering... If I set up my Hovabator and put a hatch box filled with Hatchrite inside, will my Hatchrite dry out? If the Hatchrite will be fine, then I can set up the incubator completely and be sure everything will work properly. (it's a pretty old Hovabator)

If not, then I guess I can just see how well the inc. works minus the hatch box and Hatchrite.

Thanks ahead of time for your help.


Happy Breeding season!

just try it without hatch no sense in wating it right its like 14$ fer 2Lbs.

I have my incbator up and running to make sure the temp is correct.I am not opening the hatchrite until i have eggs.Its to expensive to possibly waste it due to drying out
