Humidity

Hey everyone
This is my first try at hatching duck eggs. It's a been a couple weeks, and I can see development, but the humidity keeps dropping. I know it needs to be higher. I fill it every day. It goes as high as sixty, then as low a49. Are they doomed?

Where does the humidity go? Does the incubator have a pretty good seal? Is the incubator absorbing the water (ie: wood)?

Goog question. It's Styrofoam, I honestly can't see anything. I borrowed it from a friend. It had never worked for her. Now I know why. I put a couple wet sponges in it, and it seems to be helping. Think I'll make my own. Thanks

If I can't find any leaks, could it be possible that the temp /humidity reader is inaccurate? There's actually condensation on the window?
