I saw this post and I have similar problem. I thought I had a good thermometer, but I must not have. My eggs seemed to be developing well until day 18 when I saw little movement. I found my adjustable thermometer and tried it and it seems the temp has been closer to 95-96 the whole time. It’s day 22 and nothing. Should I toss the eggs try again? I sure don’t want crippled chicks.NO, the temp is not high enough for the embryo to grow and thrive. It will start and grow slowly according to one source I've read; but it not the optimal temperature for success. Use 99-100 degrees for forced air incubation.
Hunidity is only important to have the air cell increase in size slowly during the incubation time.
Maybe this would help:

Also be sure to read the sticky at the top of the incubation section; load of helpful info there.
It would probably be better if you posted you own thread; you’ll get more responses. People will see this thread is 10 years old and move on.I saw this post and I have similar problem.
