Update- I now have 9 chicks and 4 more pips.
My temp during thislockdown have been between 98-100 and the humidity has been between 57-80. I try to keep it between 60-65, but I've had some spikes when babies are hatching.

Best wishes to everyone going into lock down!!! So excited to see more babies!

Great! How many eggs did you begin with?

Stephanie in VA  3 kids, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 14 chickens- hens: 2 leghorns, 2 golden comets,         2 australorps, 2 barred rocks, 1 NH Red, 1 LF buff brahma. Roosters: LF light brahma, 2 bantam cochins (1 black/multi colored frizzle, and one buff/red colored) blue orpington. My neighbors RIR rooster has recently moved in. I guess he is staying too

I've had a lot of temp variations...low 90s to 105. 

Are you using a fan? I have to get a fan before I try this again.

How are things looking? Have you seen some movement? What kind of set up do you have? I recall you saying you don't have a way to track the humidity...
