thank you the reason i asked was b/c i have read here that some guys hatch at 70% or even higer like the 80% , so i though i was too low. but thank you for letting me know that 60% its good!!

That is for ducks. Ducks require a bit higher humidity than chickens do

Honestly?? Go to bed. If they hatch, they hatch and you have fuzzy butts in the morning. If not, don't worry because you are not at day 21 yet. I am on day 21, just starting day 21 and I have 3 pips from 20 eggs. It ain't over til it's over!!!!

I'm on day 19 too...do like I do ....go to bed and let them alone....the less you mess with them the better. As far as getting to watch them hatch......a watched pot never boils and it seems like a watched egg never hatches.

Your humidity when they start to hatch will more than likely go up on it's own, but that's normal and nothing to worry about.

This is what I tell everyone too. Once one hatches, the humidity goes through the roof anyways, so why worry about it? I had a pip this morning that has progressed to making a hole it sticks it beak through and hollers. So come morning, I will have to see how that one is. I am now at 8 hours into day 21. I REALLY want these to hatch well.
