1. Your incubator should have some water in the bottom at all times, in order to keep it humid enough so that the eggs do not dry out. If it doesn't then take a mister and LIGHTLY mist the eggs in the morning and at night. Humidity can also be produced by topping the incubator with a lid that won't allow for much evaporation, and by inserting a Ball Jar filled with water with an aquarium heater inside, and by placing the aquarium heater in 80 degrees, to 100 degrees F. By doing so, the water in the jar evaporates and goes into the aquarium, where your eggs will be. If you use this method, you need to deffinitely keep an eye on the jar so it's not overheating and running out of water. Good luck and I truly hope this helps.
