high humidity but, no water etc.

I am watching my eggs hatch as we speak, my humidity is high 70's, yet, I see no water in the troughs. should I add water?

as well the temp, is dropping to 97.8, should i leave that alone too ?

will they be okay in there until the hatch is done with all the egg shell empties and yolk yuckies??

Humidity is probably ok. How many do you have in there? Keep an eye on it. As long as there are active hatching the humidity should be high enough.

Temp looks spot on to me.

They will be fine with all the yuckies.

Keep them in there until they fluff out. And post some pics of your new babies!

Can you add water through the air holes via a tube or straw?

I'd not open it during hatching.

I just want to grab the empties out, poor things are tripping on them all over the place.
