Humidity question?

[Amandalea]

First time incubating. My chicks have started hatching today on day 20, since they have started hatching the humidity has risen to 80% should I try to lower it? we have 4 chicks so far!

I think 80% is ok

but its not a bad idea to lower it if you can.

Exactly what's it's supposed to do & NO, don't try to lower it. Keep the door closed, they will do much better.
