im haveing a hard time keeping the humidity up please help!!!

[3 chicken farmers]

im on day 2 of incubation and my humidity is @ 31 in one bator and @ 43 in the other two
do i need to mist it with a spray bottle
if so how many times a day
what is the ideal humidity at this point of incubation
the two that are higher have a plastic liner for the water the other has a divit in it like the plastic tray but it leaks so i have a few cups of water sitting in it any ideas???

Cicken eggs should be at about 40% for the first 18 days , its ok if it goes down to 30 % once and awhile but I wouldnt want it to stay there.
Day 19-21 should be at least 60% and 65-70% would be better.

If they arnt duck eggs dont mist them

Try adding a small clean sponge or a folded up clean wash cloth < damp>
to add humidity.
