Not sure what type if incubator you are using but if it has vent plugs, you can pull them out to help lower the humidity.

What day are your eggs on?

Yep open vents, to lower it.

if you are using a little giant or something similar with water troughs. put a stack of kleenex in there to soak up any water in there. take out a little at a time and open the vent plugs. that should help. You can also open up one of the plastic windows at the top to let a lot of the humidity out without loosing too much heat
