Dead peachicks.. :(

I am so sad right now. I had all 5 of my first pea chicks die in their eggs. I had them in an egg turning incubator for 26 days at 60% humidity. Then put them in a separate incubator with no egg turner set between 80 and 90% (I had a gauge inside and the gauge on the incubator itself, and they were both different). they were in there for 4 days and after the second day I noticed no more movement. I decided by the 4th day they were most likely dead, no pips or cracks and I opened them. All fully grown. Did I drown them? they were fine and then not! I'm getting ready to move a few more eggs over for hatching and now I don't know what to do!! Some help would be great if anyone has any insight. 90% humidity seemed too high to me but That's what I kept reading to set it at..

Hi there, sorry about your pea eggs. I incubate my pea eggs at 30-40% humidity until they pip internally. Once they pip internally, I up the humidity to 60-65%.

Thank you. I went and sucked Out some Of the water to lower the humidity in both incubators. Hope this works. Thanks !
