Can 62% humidity b ok for hatching chicken eggs with temp 102deg f?

1 day early!!! finished hatch day 20

The early hatch would be a result of your higher than normal temps. I run my bators right at 100F and that's actually just a tad on the low side. Ideal temps are 100.5F.

I run staggered hatches all year round. I have quail hatching now. This is a pic of 2 hatched a week ago (on the 2nd) and another 7 hatched yesterday & today. It's amazing how fast they grow that 1st week.

They grow up so fast. You don't notice just how fast until you start comparing babies to older birds.
