No, you need to get the humidity up so the chicks won't stick inside their shells. If you don't, you are going to have a bunch of membrane shrink wrapped chicks. There is a small chance that some of them would hatch okay, but I wouldn't chance it. I've had the privilege of peeling chicks that have been stuck out of their shells and it isn't any fun to do. It would be easiest to just toss a wet sponge on in there and be done with it.
