I was just reading up on dry eggs in the Barkers book. They said they experimented by incubating one set of eggs very dry and another set of eggs very humid. They said the dry eggs looked so bad about halfway through that they moved half of the dry eggs into the humid container and half of the humid eggs into the dry container. In the end, all of the eggs hatched except the ones they swapped.

It was their opinion that consistency was the key. If the eggs have been very dry the whole time, it could hurt the eggs to suddenly create a very humid environment. Just a thought!
