Hey hun, ive got a brinsea thats forced air with duck eggs in and my humidity should be 45% so i think yours is ok. What incubater have you got and someone might be able to help you. Whats your temp? With brinsea its recommended your humidity is between 45 & 55% and temp 99.3 & 99.6 so i wouldnt worry too much yet.. Try putting a soaked sponge in there.

i have my temp at 99.5 as close as i can get. and humidity is ranging from 40 to55, should i some how regulate the humidity? are duck and goose eggs compatible? its a little giant still air incubator. some one has offered me a couple of brooding hens, it get about 20 out at night, is it to cold to leave them out there?
