humidity question while hatching?

[Godiva]

I have two standard cochins hatched!!!!!!!

I am so excited I can hardly stay in my skin! However, since these two hatched my humidity has soared up to 80% and seems to be going up still, should I open the vent plug? and hope it will settle a little? Or should I leave it closed? What is the right range to aim for at this point? I have 7 others pipped and 30 that haven't done anything yet? SO what to do folks?

The humidity will flunctuate as they hatch. If it gets any higher open a vent plug but watch it and close it before it drops too much.

Thank you so much! I opened the vent plug and it is coming down! Boy am I having fun! Will get really fit from running a few hundred yards down to our workshop all the time to check on how they are doing! If I didn't have kids I would be there all day ... but there are meals to be fixed and naps etc. Good for me I suppose since it passes the time!
