Ok, I had my first two clutches recently. I guess I didn't have the humidity high enough with my first clutch and the eggs dimpled. The second clutch looks good. I'm using hatchrite as suggested by a couple of people here and have added extra water to the Hobavator as per the hatchrite instructions. I'm getting condensation on the viewing windows on both.

So my question is: how long does it take for the dimples to go away? It's been several days since i added the water and I'm keeping the lid shut to keep the humidity high. How long do I wait before i know it wasn't enough water?

Dimples won't always go away....just as long as it doesn't get worse you should be fine.

Do you have your eggs just in the Hov or do you have them in an egg box in the Hov? If you don't have an egg box I would strongly recommend moving them to one. As for the dimpling -- they might improve a little but they probably won't pop all the way back up.

No I don't have an egg box. I didn't know i needed one. I just have the hatchrite in the bottom and a water dish in the middle with the eggs all around the water dish. I'm keeping the temps right at 88 degrees. I taped the little holes on top of the Hobavator to keep all of the humidity in. I have pretty heavy condensation on the windows.
