I woke up to.....a cold dark house

& 3 PIPs Luckily power was out for only about 40 minutes. I managed to get 3 ziplocks bags of hot tap water (on a well) and got bator temp to 90 degrees. Power is back on now and all 3 chicky eggs are still kickin. Ducky is PIP'd internally and moving a lot.

I'm scared to check on the babies out in the brooder

kiz..I tried this also, lower temp..did fine..I also went as high as you with the humidity for lock down, but, found that it was too high. Too much wet in the egg, I had a lot drown, just letting you know, that I found it is best at 60 to 65 instead of up to 70. That's me..if you decide to keep it up that high, let us know, and where you have your bator..may make a difference? My room I have the bator in is a very cool room. It's good to know the different ways that are working for others.
Good luck with your babies.. and to all of you that already have babies coming! Pictures!
