While eggs are incubating, they naturally lose weight. It\u2019s important to have your humidity set to the right percentage so that your eggs are losing an ideal amount of weight so that developing chicks can use the available air space to breathe and move around.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If Humidity is Too Low<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Low humidity will cause the eggs to lose too much weight, which means the air space will be larger than ideal. A large air space means the chick will be smaller and weaker and might not survive. However, low humidity is typically less of a problem than high humidity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If Humidity is Too High <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>High humidity results in not enough weight loss. The air space will be smaller than ideal, and the chick will be larger. A small air space can lead to respiratory problems and make it difficult for the chick to move around and break out of the shell.<\/p>\n<p>If a chick pips in a shell that hasn\u2019t lost enough weight, they can die due to weakness from lack of air or because they can\u2019t maneuver to break out the rest of the way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/egmediamags.com\/url-tracking\/tracking?id=bzVxNHRmSHNoK1A4UDIxbnJuUUZaZz09\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-118364 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Hatch-April-2012-005-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Hatch-April-2012-005-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Hatch-April-2012-005-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Hatch-April-2012-005-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Hatch-April-2012-005-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Hatch-April-2012-005-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Hatch-April-2012-005-1980x1485.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Hatch-April-2012-005-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Hatch-April-2012-005-533x400.jpg 533w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Hatch-April-2012-005-333x250.jpg 333w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/Hatch-April-2012-005-267x200.jpg 267w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/jPEur28c-Hatch-April-2012-005-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Measuring Humidity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Humidity is calculated by measuring the water vapor in the air. One of the easiest ways to measure the water vapor is by figuring out the Relative Humidity percentage, also known as RH%.

The RH% is based on the temperature of the air, so 50% humidity at 70 degrees Fahrenheit is different from 50% humidity at 90 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Maximum possible water vapor capacity increases as the temperature increases, so raising the temperature in an incubator without adding water will cause the RH% to drop. Therefore, it\u2019s important to note the temperature when measuring humidity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wet Bulb Temperature<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can measure humidity with the wet bulb (WB) technique by checking the temperature of a thermometer with a moist cotton wick around its bulb. As the water from the wick evaporates, it cools the bulb.<\/p>\n<p>The WB technique takes the difference between the WB and dry bulb (DB) temperatures to determine humidity. There are only two instances where the WB and the DB temperatures would be the same\u2014 when the air has absorbed all the water it can (100% RH), and when the wet wick has dried out. It should be noted that it is very difficult to measure the WB in a still air incubator.<\/p>\n<p>Also WB temperature should not be confused with % RH &#8211; 90 degrees WB temperature is 45% RH not 90% RH.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Achieve Correct Humidity Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/egmediamags.com\/url-tracking\/tracking?id=bzVxNHRmSHNoK1A4UDIxbnJuUUZaZz09\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-118369 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/humidity.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"371\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/humidity-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/humidity-189x90.jpg 189w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/humidity.jpg 371w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What can you do if you don\u2019t have a\u00a0 hygrometer, or you aren\u2019t sure if your hygrometer is accurate? If you\u2019re hatching in an incubator without a reliable hygrometer, we recommend periodically weighing your eggs to check on their progress.<\/p>\n<p>Most bird species (except for the ostrich family) need to lose between 13% to 15% of their weight from the first day of incubation to the day they hatch. By weighing the eggs every few days, you can accurately adjust the humidity to compensate for too much or too little weight loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Altering the Humidity During Incubation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Water surface area and fresh air are the two controllable factors to consider when altering the humidity during incubation. The more water surface area there is inside the incubator, the higher the humidity will be.<\/p>\n<p>All Brinsea incubators have two water pots or channels to give you flexibility in water surface area and evaporation rates. To increase the humidity, all you need to do is put water in both channels and reduce the ventilation. Never block off all the holes in the incubator as the chicks require oxygen to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>Evaporating pads or blocks are available and can help raise the humidity if you\u2019ve put water in both water channels and still can\u2019t achieve the correct humidity level.<\/p>\n<p>The Brinsea EX units come with a built-in hygrometer and humidity pump to automatically control humidity. Similar to temperature control, the humidity level can be adjusted on the incubator and the pump takes care of adding water as necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ambient Humidity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ambient humidity will influence the humidity inside the incubator. Factors that can cause the humidity in the incubator to fluctuate include whether there is a humidifier or dehumidifier in the room, if you\u2019re running the heater, turned the A\/C off and opened the windows, and others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Should I Spray My Eggs with Water?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spraying eggs with water only raises the humidity for a short time before the small water droplets on the eggs evaporate and is therefore not an effective solution to low humidity. It\u2019s also not recommended due to the fact that the water could be at much lower temperature than the eggs, which can cause issues as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/egmediamags.com\/url-tracking\/tracking?id=bzVxNHRmSHNoK1A4UDIxbnJuUUZaZz09\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-118370 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/IMG_0671-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/IMG_0671-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/IMG_0671-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/IMG_0671-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/IMG_0671-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/IMG_0671-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/IMG_0671-1980x1485.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/IMG_0671-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/IMG_0671-533x400.jpg 533w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/IMG_0671-333x250.jpg 333w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/IMG_0671-267x200.jpg 267w, https:\/\/img.hobbyfarms.com\/nL8eGchw-IMG_0671-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Humidity During Hatching<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For virtually all birds, humidity needs to be higher at hatching than during incubation. We recommend raising the humidity during \u201clockdown\u201d or the last few days of incubation. If you have been weighing your eggs, the weight loss should be right around 13% to 15%, and raising the humidity at the end won\u2019t significantly affect this.<\/p>\n<p>High humidity is necessary because of the membrane that the chicks must break through to hatch. If the membrane is allowed to dry out (due to low humidity), then it becomes too tough for the chicks to tear. They\u2019re then unable to hatch.<\/p>\n<p>During hatching, the humidity should be at least 60% RH. To keep the humidity stable, always keep the lid on the incubator. If the lid is lifted after a chick has hatched, the humidity will immediately drop which could cause other chicks to become shrink wrapped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever incubated before (or even if you haven\u2019t), you probably know that there are a lot of variables you need to keep track of.
