I am now jinxing myself also, but I have also not lost any chicks once they are out of the incubator (have lost several IN the bator, tho, but they were weak to start with) - I agree that I found 95 is too hot. When I tried that on my first batch the chicks were WAY away from the light. I now use an 85W red flood light and adjust it based on where the chicks are gathering, not on any thermometer reading.
I also use nipple waterers only - probably has nothing to do with it, but it keeps the water clean. A little wet chick food + scrambled egg as treats.
