How do you control humidity?
add water to raise humidity and get rid of water to lower it.buy a hygrometer so you can monitor it.
Yep, you control it by the surface area that the water is exposed to air in the bator. More surface area, greater relative humidity. You measure it with a hydrometer or through the use of wet bulb/dry bulb readings.
I think i will use a styrofoam cooler, and put a light in. I will put the eggs on wire, and have a dish under them with water. if the humidity gets to high, how do i lower it?
you could partly cover the dish of water with tin foil to slow evaporation.
You also need to have high and low ventilation holes -- and you can control humidity somewhat by allowing more air to pass through the vents (uncovering or covering them more).
