No need at all to drop the temps. What you may WANT to do is make some adjustments to keep the eggs at their current temp. If the thermostat probe is in the egg box, do nothing...the thermostat will keep you right. If the probe is outside the egg box, try to put it inside. If you cant, maybe drop it a degree or two, I suppose (but I never do). The heating effect is more dramatic the larger the clutch. The other thing is to make sure you change the air every couple of days by quickly opening the gg box.
