Stressing about humidity!!

[Kute_Keets]

Yet another question,
As previously mentioned, I have various aged guinea eggs in the incubator. So they are now all lying down and I turn the less developed 3 times a day. Some I think-based on their air sack size and position- might be only a few days from hatching.
Now my current incubator temperature is at 37.2 degrees C and humidity which had been around 64% is now at 74%.
I have read on the internet for Guinea fowl, :

• The correct temperature in the incubator is 37.5 degrees Celsius or 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit, decreasing to 36.5 degrees Celsius or 98.5 degrees Fahrenheit during the final three days of incubation.
• The correct humidity is 65% until day 25 and then rising to 80% until day 28.

The humidity here today is 51%
My question is that I am reading on here a variety of levels from 30% to 80%?
In my situation what is the ideal temp and humidity to aim for with a few eggs close to hatching?

Thanks in advance!!

Honestly I don’t worry about the humidity just make sure there is a good amount of water in there.

Kute_keets,
I'm so glad you asked the humidity question. I have wondered the same.
I have incubated guinea eggs on three different occasions with very little success. I figured it was due to the humidity being too high.
I live in Central Tx Where the humidity is high already, and it would raise the humidity in the incubator that much higher. So I chalked my failed incubation's on that, until....
My husband ran our guinea hen off of her nest due to the location of the nest (wasn't safe). We incubated all 35 eggs. After cancelling on the 10th day we were down to 25. We never removed the lid from our Nurture Right 360 and had temp set at 100°, the humidity stayed around 74%.
Day 26 we had 10 hatch, day 27, 3 more. We left the hatched ones in the incubator until all were dry which took about a full day. We removed the keets after they were dried and because they had trampled a new keet to death that had just hatched. Today we've had 3 more, one died. The 2 that are still alive remain in the incubator. They are dry and I will have to remove them, before they start getting too weak.
I just lift one edge of the lid & grab the little ones fast & close it shut.
I'm not sure if that makes a vacuum seal around the pipped eggs, preventing them from hatching or not.
This is my first successful hatch.
Good luck
