Humidity

Post by canary3000 » Sun Jul 15, 2018 2:28 pm

What is the "ideal" humidity level in percentage for breeding canaries. I will be breeding in early spring and we have low humidity during this time.

Too much humidity can literally drown the chick inside the egg. Or you're just having plain bad luck and all the eggs are infertile. Definitely lower than 90% but not sure.
Have a nice day!

to lower humidity, run a fan, or use a de-humidifier.
