Is 70% humidity too much for duck eggs?

Hello,

25th day and added water to the trough (both wells) with my Hovabator Genesis. The readout on my digital is 70% humidity. Is this good? Or, bad?

Thanks.

I have duck eggs in my hatcher pipping and zipping their way out of their shells as I type. The humidity in the hatcher ranges between 70 and 72% depending upon how many have hatched. All appear to have had no trouble exiting their shells and are already active!

I should add that this is only my 7th time hatching anything, and only my 2nd batch of duck eggs that I've incubated. Used the same hatching humidity with the first batch and have 24 one week old ducklings running around!

That actually is a good % to keep! Five of my 15 eggs hatched!!! i have ducklings!
