I'm waiting until payday to buy a new humidity gauge, but for the time being I have a hydrofarm thermostat connected to the incubator. The eggs are from a friend who had an unexpected clutch...and so the incubator wasn't even set up until the day we got the eggs. It is originally intended for bp eggs for next season.

My understanding is that corn eggs require a much lower temp than bps, and we've had a steady temp of 82F. I'm finding that with a lower temp, I just can't keep the humidity up, and many of the eggs are dimpling far too much. I just added a couple shallow bowls of water into the incubator, as well as adding a barely damp papertowel on top of the eggs. I also just tried misting inside the incubator itself (but not on the eggs). I'm hoping this bumps the humidity up, but is there anything else I can do?

All 16 eggs have vascularity and I'm told they are pretty hardy, but we weren't anticipating even using the incubator for a few months I appreciate any advice.
