Have no experience of incubators but would think that you would need a decent temperature to increase the humidity.  What temperature is the incubator reading?  Have also read that it is best to have an internal thermometer as the incubator ones can be out by quite a bit.  Hopefully someone with experience will advise you shortly.

Quite a bit of info on this link

www.shilala.com/incubating.html

temp needs to be higher if it is a still air rather than a fan forced incubator.  Good luck.
