Humidity during hatch??

[Chickenfeet]

Well guys, the incubator is rocking. 8 out of 18 have hatched , middle of day 21. Several more have piped. My humidity has gradually risen to nearly 90%. Am i right i need to lower it to high 70 to low 80's?

My humidity always goes up (and crazy) during a hatch. Do not open the bator!

Congratulations! I've only had two hatches but its happened both times and I read here on BYC that it is normal. The hardest part is to not open the incubator. There will be times when you want to, infact you'll be dieing to try and help!
