Hello Luke, It really depends on what type of eggs you are trying to hatch. Most gamebird eggs do better if your humidity is a bit less than that. In my Dickey incubator I tried to keep the humidity about 53 to 55 per cent. Then the last few days before they hatch, I will increase it to about 58 to 60 per cent. The exception to this are button quail. I have found that they require more humidity while hatching, because they tend to get stuck in the shell much more quickly than other quail. I will have the humidity at 65 to 70 per cent for them during the hatch. They are wet when they hatch, but they dry off in minutes in the brooder. Water fowl also required a lot more humidity. Again, depending on the species. Good luck hope you get some great hatches.
