anybody have humidity around 70% w/ dry hatches?

i have my humidity close to 70% but it still seems that some of my chicks are hatching out dry i lost 2 already the zipped but never popped i woke up to them it was so sad, i know my hygrometer is right as i used it before and had 2 in there, so i was wondering is there a way the hygrometer can read humidity in a still air incubator as having the high humidity but also having dry water wells is this possible?

What is the humidity in the room ?
I can't see that it is possible to have 70 % Hum with no water in the bator at all ! The humidity is wrong.

i was just wondering i guess they could be sticky from not being turned, but it was just weird to have 2 zip all the way but never come out, thanks for your input

Sorry, but at 70% humidity you stand a better chance of drowning the chicks than them being dry. Re-check you hygrometer. With no water in the wells, the reading is wrong.
