The article explains how moisture and ventilation influence incubation success. It notes that both excess and insufficient moisture can hinder chick development and shell ejection, and describes methods used to supply moisture such as sprinking, wet sponges, pans of water, and damp floors, with caution about overmoisture in the egg chamber.
