[luvchikies]

I was cleaning the house then I went to check the bator and it said that the humidity was 69%!!!! and im just on day 3! did they already drowned??? or is there still hope! Im already trying to lower the humidity (its at 57% right now)

It will be just fine. Just monitor it a bit closer.

no its fine...I keep my humidity 35-38% until day 18 then I bump it up...reason I do it this way is so that the yolk can absorb into the chick...I feel if I have my humidity too high, its moist and they can absorb it like there suppose to.

Thats me...

They won't 'drown' until they pip that air cell, on or around day 20. High humidity during incubation can cause the air cells to be too small, which can cause the chicks to be too large to properly pip and turn inside the shell.
I would just leave it, and don't put anymore water in it until it gets down to 30% or so.
