    Humidity issue in bator

    I have a still air incubator. Temperature is set at 102.5 to keep temp at egg level 99.5. Humidity is holding at 55%. I have three days till my 11 eggs hatch and all the water wells are full. How to I increase the humidity at this point? Candled eggs yesterday and all are alive and well so far.
