I think I can help. Include a few pics of the brooder setup. Turn off the humidifier.

What is the temp?

Two layers of paper towels
 
Water touching eggs = no bueno.
To lower humidity, ventilation in the incubator needs to be increased and the humidity in the surrounding room needs to be decreased.

Nope figured that... I feel so stupid for not realizing the paper towels were wet. At least it wasn’t a puddle but I still can imagine it wasn’t pleasant...

Either way the temp is still climbing, 94 right now, and humidity is holding steady at 71 right now with everything out and room humidity down. I checked the graph and humidity was only that high for an hour and 15 minutes before I caught it so I’m hoping it didn’t do any damage.

EDIT: just saw the other gauge I put in the bator (I used it the whole time while incubating the first 5 weeks) and it reads 60 right now so I’m not sure who to believe... it also says the temp is only 90 so I’m confused

EDIT 2: also realizing that gauge has had a faulty battery reading for a few days now so the rest might be messed up too...

An hour and 15 is not that bad. Try to keep humidity under 75 :)

If I have to believe the gauge that I’ve had in this bator (gauge 2) it’s 64 and dropping slightly right now. The temp that had a wonky battery reading (gauge 1) says it’s 55. I’m gonna believe 2 I think so I’ll try to keep it around 60

Good idea :)
I always used a spray bottle and spritzed the inside of the incubator one or twice a day for humidity.
