Humidity problem

I'm trying to figure out correct humidity for phesants during incubation and lockdown

Temp dropping a degree or so, isn't a big deal. Humidity is going up a bit too high. Now would be a good time to clear out any chicks or egg shells if you wanted to, and let a little of that humidity escape. I remove my chicks as they hatch and start moving, so humidity build up is rarely something I see...lol

That's a personal decision. I take mine out as they hatch and start moving around. I do not leave mine in, especially after this last hatch and having two stretch out under the fan unit and get hurt. If your humidity is up there, pulling them out should pose no problem. If you are comfortable move them to the brooder, if not they can stay in until the end of the hatch (up to 3 days.)

I don't need humidity in my brooder do i .my lamp is running 100-102...they have room to move if they get to warm

Once they are out of the shell and moving around, your normal room humidity is fine, just be sure they have a 95F spot to go to.
