Can your humidity be too high? I have a still air hovabator and need to know they all look wet I had one hatch at 2 today and it is still not dry now I have close to 30 baby quail in there and they all look wet?????

Most definitely. IF your humidity is too high the chick will drown in the egg. I find it best to start out near 60% and let it go down to around 35% before adding more water.
Then on day 18 I don't think you can get too much humidity. Most will say stay above 65% for those last 3 days

I just realized their already out. Yeah more them into a lower humidity incubator. With 30 or so it might be a while for them to fluff up

once they are out are they pretty much ok I dont have another incubator I can move them to
Will they be ok....

I have used a cardboard box with a hole to stick a lamp lite bulb thru. And that lite bulb does just fine.
