Can someone please double check my info for my first hatch

My humidity is dropping quicker than I would like but that is why I was running it empty first, so I could work out the kinks before the eggs are in there. I was just worried I would have too low humidity with 3 days lockdown. It is holding at 65 now and has been for a few hours now I will know well before the eggs get here how low to expect it to drop duing lockdown.
I will most likely lay the digital hygrometer in an empty egg slot I am only setting 2 dozen eggs, and just sit and watch it very closely with my hands duct taped behind me.
Thanks for your help
 
I have to keep opening a vent to get my humidity down not unusal after all this is Florida, home to humidity.

It's day 4 and the bator has been spot on. I am adding water ever two days and will be candling on Sunday. I already have a home for the Cochins I traded most of them for an EE roo and 4 hens. I also bought a roo and 4 hens (also EEs) . I said I would not expand beyond the 26 chickens I already had but here I added 10 EEs and have one broody sitting on 3 eggs and 41 in the bator.......Guess I have been bitten aye?

Total is 14 New Hamshires 2 roos and 14 hens
11 EEs 3 roos and 8 hens
3 white rock hens
2 barred rock hens
1 maran hen
5 RIR hens

Plus the 44 eggs Good thing we live in an ag zone
