The digital hygrometer says 99%, the other one always says between 85 and 95, condensation has been forming on the lid since the eggs were put in it but several breeders told me to up the humidity when they first dimpled so bad on day 21 of incubation, so I added a little, and I stress little more water to the vermiculite, and put a small bowl of water outside the tub in the incubator. I also put press and seal over the tub instead of the loose fitting plastic lid. I also turned the circulation fan off as it was advised to me that that was probably what stripped them of their humidity. they never seemed to plump back up. and recently mold started developing. I was told to gently wipe off mold and dust with bold bond foot powder. that has not seemed to stop the mold. the temp has according to a point and click thermometer, and two different digital thermometers of different brands never gotten above 90.5 and never dropped below 86... did I over correct on the humidity level? the eggs are now at day 51
