Chickens eggs hatching day 21

[aurimilky]

I'm now on day 21 (hatch day), my egg incubator is at humidity 54%

• Day 18 the humidity was 72%
• Day 19 it was 58%
• Day 20 it was 85%
• Today Day 21 it now at 54% humidity.

I readed that the humidity need to be around 70% at the start of lock down (day 18) and to just leave the humidity if it drops in humidity not to at more water.

As it is hatching day will 54% be okay ?

If the membrane appears to dry after a pip, then you should add more water

It now at 62% humidity, so I think everything should be fine now. It's just a waiting game for them to hatch now.
