Temperature drops at this stage aren't a big deal. The chicks are producing a bit of heat themselves. And it takes a long time for the internal temperature of the egg to drop enough to affect them.

Is your incubator somewhere cool? That can cause the condensation inside. Move it to a warm room if possible. Does your instructions say to remove any plugs or open any vents? Hatching eggs need of fresh air.

No has a hole in it but still brings moisture thanks xx

My small incubator goes like that as soon as a chick or 2 hatches.... i would open vents as much as possible to stop it condensating if possible.
Most likely at this stage it won't make a huge difference to the hatching.
