HUMIDITY SETTINGS (IDEAL = 50% to 65%) 

 

Humidity % is determined by the surface area of the water container/ pan and the amount of fresh air exchange in the hatcher. 

You can regulate humidity % by decreasing or increasing the SURFACE AREA of the water and by regulating the fresh air that 

comes into the hatcher 

 

The ideal humidity % for incubation is between 50% and 65%

1) Fill water container/pan with WARM WATER 
2) Adjust the HUMIDITY CONTROL AIR VENT in the front of the hatcher to a LESS OPEN/ MORE CLOSED position 

If the above two steps fail to increase humidity, do the following in addition to the above: 

3) Place water pans and humidifier in the room where the hatcher is standing to increase room humidity

1) Adjust the AIR VENT in front to a MORE OPEN / LESS CLOSED position 
2) Remove one of the water containers 

If the above two steps fail to decrease humidity, do the following: 

3) Remove both water containers completely (Only in very humid / wet areas) 
4) Place a dehumidifier in the room (Only in very humid / wet areas) 

 

After you are satisfied with the temperature and humidity you may place the eggs in the hatcher 

 

Hatcher light: 

 

Your hatcher has a light located on the inside of the hatcher. This light may be switched on in 
order to view the eggs or chicks inside the hatcher.  
 

VERY IMPORTANT:

 

Don’t leave the light on as this will negatively effect the functioning of the 

hatcher. Only use the light when necessary. Switch the light 

OFF

 after you have viewed the 

eggs/chicks inside the hatcher.
