Have you thought about trying a dry hatch? With your ambient humidity, you might do well with only adding some water after lockdown.

What does your hygrometer read? Have you salt tested it?

so it's like this if i switch the fan with high speed the humidity is 55-57 and if no fan condensation starts to form..and i i switch the fan a bit slow then the temperature drops again

right now hygrometer measures 58%

If that's accurate, your humidity is too high. That's about where I would want it when the eggs start to pip. During incubation I would try to keep it around 30%.

they are supposed to hatch on this cominh sunday and i am now in the lockdown..this is fisrt time with hygrometer..the humidity about 58 is high at hatching times?

Oh, no. 58 is just about perfect for hatching. They humidity will often rise on its own as they start to hatch, I've found. There's a lot of moisture in those eggs.

oh thanks so much..but here's what happened..when i turn off the fan the humidity went as high as 95 and condensation starts to rise and temperature even drops a lot..but when i switch on the fan the temperature went higher to around 98-100f but the humidity level drop to 55-60%..what needs to figure out is what i do not know

Keep the fan going. If the humidity gets that high, the eggs won't hatch or they'll have defects.
