My 15+ y.o. Russian laid 2 comparatively large eggs today, and I've placed them in a Hovabator D-2362-N, at 31.6 c. Couple of open bowls of water, and there's water in the bottom tray of the Hovabator. So, humidity's fine. What I'm not sure of is this: I have the eggs in a tupperbowl bowl, on damp vermiculite. Should I leave the bowl open? Should I put a lid on loosely? Some sources say to put the lid on and poke holes in it. But since humidity's so important, wouldn't having a lid on be counter-productive? Please give me your best advice. I'd like to understand the ins and outs of lids in incubators.
As note: The Hovabator has a tiny circulating fan. But, the bowl's in a far corner and is tall enough so that the fan isn't blowing directly on the eggs.
For right now, I've put a damp paper towel over the bowl. I'm looking for the ultimate solution.
Many thanks,
WW
