>>My eggs look like they are starting to dry out, whats the best way to keep them moist. also i have a still air incubator made of styrofoam, can i put water in the bottom to keep humidity up???

Yes! put water in the bottom, There should be two areas that hold about 1/2 inch of water, fill them both up with about 1/2 inch of water. Keep your eggs low as possible, away from the heat element. If your just hatching a few cluches, you can cut the screen down so your tubs will sit on the bottom. I also cover my tubs with sran wrap, with about 6 holes poke in it, to keep the humidity up,and it serves as a heat barrier between the eggs and heat element.(don't let the sran wrap touch the eggs)
Good luck, Bob
