Is humidity too high for new chick?

[Celeste Cannon]

My first quail chick popped out yesterday and my family was so excited!!! She was so wet when we got there from the egg stuff so I knew to leave her over night but I just got here and she’s still really wet, is it because the humidity’s too high? It’s currently at like 85, should I leave her in longer with that humidity or try and toggle it to get lower? Thanks guys!

If you can take it down 10% so it's at 70%. Good luck!

She’s pecking around really hard on the cardboard, I’m really tempted to take her out but it’s best to wait right?

To get the hatch rate high on the other chicks Yes, it's best to wait. Are there any pips in the others?

One had pipped I think Wednesday night and died . That was in my other incubator that is bad at controlling humidity, there are 2 eggs in the same incubator as the chick that have been rocking around like crazy though.

Sorry very tired didn’t really answer the question, no none of the others in there have pipped. Only rocking

Alright so what I would do is get the chick out fast. But make sure it's quick as possible, and get it under the lamp. This is making me excited with my batch hatching in a couple days.

Haha that’s how I felt a couple days ago when I was helping other hatchers. Thank you for helping me I really appreciate it!
