I have researched this question through this forum and through out the web. It seems to be that the humidity level to keep veiled eggs is up for discussion. I really want a succesful breader to tell me what they keep their veiled eggs at??

I don't measure the humidity in the incubation containers. I dampen the vermiculite and as long as no more than a couple of drops of water can come out of it when you take a hand full and squeeze it...then it will be the right humidity. Once the lid is put on the container, there will be beads of moisture on the lid and the sides of the container....and that's okay. If you have the lid off too often during the incubation to check on the eggs or you make holes in the container that are too big, you may have to add a few drops of water during the incubation...but I don't usually have to do that.

I am using a hova bator, so I can't really squeeze the vermiculite. I can keep any kind of temp and humidity that I want. I just need to know what to keep the humidity at???? I appreciate all input, I really do.

I've never used a hova bator. Why can't you get your vermiculite the right moisture before putting it in the incubating containers?
Doesn't make sense.
