Okay, few more questions....

In fact it has gone to 62 already, what else should I do to keep the humidity high

Ok so I added hot water and a really hot cloth along with a dish of hot water again like I previously did, but now my humidity isn't going higher than 65/70 anymore

As long as you aren't continually opening it, I wouldn't worry about it. 65-70% is a decent hatch humidity.

But even if it's at 60

I'd just wait it out. Once they start hatching it'll go up a bit. If it goes below 60% I'd try a sponge or an extra cloth.

Ok

The Walls of my incubator is pretty steamy, but the humidity is telling me 61

Where can I get a hygrometer

Type of incubators make a difference. I don't know the why of the physics, but they do. One girl was trying to hit my goal of 75%. She's like I finally got it there, and puts up a pic. She was using a smaller home made cooler bator and you could barely see in the windows...lol Apparently you don't need that high of humidity I the cooler bators either. I told her to drop it down, she was good...lol In my bator it can hit 80 without causing my windows to condinsate...much more than that and they will. You would think that 70% is 70% but it has different effects in different bators.

I know. Given that we calibrate our instruments, 65% should be 65%, and 70% should be 70%. At 70% I begin to have condensation on the plastic film window where it is nearly touching a wooden framing member, but none elsewhere. Yet the chicks won't dry,

My incubator is at 52 at lockdown!!! What can I do to get that higher

Put a damp washcloth in.
