HELP!! Need some info please?

I have a still air incubator. I am currently in lock down and have 2 chicks that have hatched in the past 4hrs. The humidity as been holding at 55 - 60 until these 2 hatched and is now up to 80%. Is there something I should do or is this normal and I should just leave it alone?

Are the vent plugs open? I keep one open and if it gets too high I open both of them. I have hatch chickens hatch at 80% when I couldnt get the humidity down, and they hatched out just fine.

I've been doing dry incubation, and my humidity can get up to 80%. The chicks do need a bit of humidity to hatch. They should have lost enough moisture in the egg with the 50-60% humidity. If the windows fog up, take a plug out and turn it upside down over the hole, and slide it over just a bit until the windows clear. Good luck! Congrats!!!!

Yes I do have both plugs out at the moment. I will keep a close eye on them and see what happens. I've heard that some people prop the lid open with something. Is there a point were I should do this? Kinda scared that they might get to cold and die

No, as long as you don't see wet droplets on the window, no need to do anything.
