Humidity dropped to 54 on day 20

I'm using a Farm Inovators Styrofoam incubator. We are on day 20. Humidity was at 68 day 18, went to 65 on day 19, and is now at 54. I can hear some chirping. I'm not sure if any have pipped yet. Do I open to add wet sponges or just let them be?

Do you have a salt tested humidity gauge in your bator or are you trusting the built-in humidity reading?

54 is fine.

Thank you. I'm trusting the built in guage. This is my third hatch with this incubator. The first two were successful but the humidity stayed above 60 during lockdown.
