yes is high

you should keep humidity 35 to 40% from day 1 to 18

raise humidity to 65-75% on the last 3 days

What kind of incubator do you have?

if this is the hovabator

you should have the red plugs removed until lockdown day

I agree with the other posts, the humidity is too high. I would first remove a plug and monitor the humidity. If you need to remove both plugs.

Well, I've just got the temp to 100 after 2 days...I'm not sure I want to unplug anything, do you think if I took some water out of the water tray that the humidity would go down?????

1 way to retain more humidity in the batro is by placing paper towels under the wire, this way the humidity last longer and you dont have to add much water trough the day
