Day 18 Humidity reading 83%! Please help!

[Sivory]

Hello!
This is my first time incubating bantam eggs, everything has been pretty consistent and I ended up locking down the eggs at day 16 because they were moving, I followed the manufacturing instructions and put the amount of water in recommended for days 16-21 and now my humidity is reading at 83%!
I’m so scared they will drown when hatching, what can I do? Do I need to tip some water out?
Thank you for your help!

Pop the top let some dry air in.

Open all your air holes, vent some humidity out.

There are no vent holes on this incubator, could I just open the lid for a little while?

Yes open the lid and if you can take some water out. Or as soon as you close the lid it will rise again... you can always add a little water if you need to but it's harder to lower than to raise the humidity

Do I as quickly as possible try not to allow the humidity to lower to much

What incubator are using that it has no air holes? Odd.

 

[Sivory]

It’s. HHD brand, I’ll attach a photo.

Do you think you can open the lid a little bit take some paper towels and soak up some of the water instead of pouring it out. It worked pretty good for me to grab a bunch of paper towels soak up as much water until you get to the right humidity.

Thanks, that’s actually a great idea, I’ve taken a little bit out and the humidity is sitting at 75% now
