Not sure who you are asking, but if it's me, I opened the eggs after the hatch was over. Of the eggs that did not hatch, About 1/3 were not fertile, 1/3 died around 3-10 days in, and the other 1/3 were mostly formed but not complete.
These were shipped eggs, so I did anticipate a lower hatch...
IMHO I wish I didn't elevate to 101.5 in a still-air. My hatch rate was less than 20%.
I had multiple thermometers inside and the temperature varied widely. I rotated around to be sure the eggs had exposure to different zones.
This time I rigged the incubator with fans to circulate the air...
I was able to bring down the humidity to 35% using a very strong dehumidifier and a closed room. To bring it back up for lockdown, I loaded the incubator with water. If it helps, from my own experience I've eliminated humidity as a potential stumbling block.
Just a FYI, these are the fans I bought to put in the incubator.

I was able to fit both of them into a Little Giant incubator and have enough room for 50 or so eggs if needed. Anxious to see if this helps.
Aloha, I'm in Hawaii too. I followed the instructions to raise the temperature to 101.5 (not sure where I saw that number) and my hatch rate was even lower. I suspect that a still air incubator is not a good solution for hatching. Temperatures around the incubator ranged from 98 degrees to...
