First time hatcher - Setting April 8 or 9 - Now what?

Date sort Score sort
Today was the first day of "lockdown" for I set my eggs Saturday the 9th at 8 am. I started to raise the humidity last night and my temp dropped to 92 so I have put in my 25 watt bulb for the time to help bring the temp up. Having a hard time keeping the humidity up over 70% but am keeping above 60% if I can.
Since I have three eggs in there that I still have to turn I just add water at that time. It will go up to over 70% for a time but as of yet I have NO sound, NO pips, and NO movement at all. I candled Monday and all was good.
 
Came home at lunch and 2 chicks out, one pipped, all lav amer. banties

You can hear the cheeps, sometimes the day before hatching, probably they have pipped into the air cell at that time. I never saw the pips on the two that have hatched, probably on the underside and just couldn't see them.

I got my amer. banty eggs from littleameraucanamomma, she says she often gets about half of hers hatching a day early.
 
Chirping, moving egg, and a pip in one of them!!!

Hatch cam is back online (I guess 8 hours is all they'll do before you have reset it)
