Humidity problem in the incubator

Ok I'll solve the temperature, and it reads 88-89 deg F. My problem now is my humidity it reads 60-70%, I'll use press and seal for 2 days then nothing happen.

Any suggestion on how to raise it.

Thanks!

If your going substrateless over egg crate (where the eggs don't come in contact with the substrate below), just add more water.

If the eggs are actually going to be nestled in the substrate, you could add some dampened sphangum moss to the egg box.

a picture of the tub set up would help

Is the hygrometer accurate? Digital units are often spec'd at +/- 10 or 20% RH so 70% could actually be 90% They can be tested (salt test) but it is hard on digital units.

x2 Are your eggs dimpling or staying plump? If they aren't collapsing prematurely, then pay attention to what they are telling you instead of the numbers on the hygrometer.
