Do u use a gauge for the humidity or do u just eye ball the condensation on the glass? do u know the correct humidity levels for the young chicks?

Check this link out towards the bottom:

50-60% humidity

It's been a long time since I've had to use it but when I first set it up I used a reptile humidity meter and tested it before I needed it. Marked the top with a marker, where it needed to be for what humidity.
