    At lock down I had humidity around 60-65%. Now every time someone hatches (3 so far) it goes up more. Its at 83% now. Should I be removing vent plugs and letting some of that out?

    Nope just let it be. When they hatch your humidity will go all whacky. Don't look at the guage or mess with anything. Just sit back and enjoy your chicken tv!!
