Anyone hatch silkies?

There was a FB discussion insisting that 65% humidity was too high for lockdown. I hatched a bunch beautifully. And I'm sure it's not lockdown that's the problem. But, there were about 6 that didn't make it to lockdown.

I'm looking for an adjustment to my method. I know vaults can make turning difficult.

Are some dying late due to inability to turn? Air cells in this last batch were beautiful (even though shipped).glass thermometer, tested humidity , run about 30 and increase at day 17/18 to 50% then lockdown 65% to 80%. But hatch wasn't the problem, except for a single one.

I have seen someone post that hatching silkies is harder. Those that made it to lockdown hatched fine. But trying to see if I can tweak my method to get them there. The 9 that hatched are strong and no assistance was needed.
