No granny you are not killing the chicks!! It could be any of the things mentioned above that are causing chicks to be dead in shel.

Your bator looks good!!

I drowned them yet again York. I had one container with a lid and a small iece of songe sticking out for incubation then come lock down I took the lid off and let the fan blow direct on it and added 2 stryofoam coffee cups with water to it. It never fogged the window up at all but they were sticky chicks. they still have it on them because they are weak and I am afraid to rinse them

Sticky chicks are from prolonged high humidity during day 1 - 18. So by putting it up at lockdown you didn't cause that. Try running with no water at all and see what your readings are. Eggs will naturally create some humidity as the moisture comes out of the egg. Run 7 days without and see what your air cells look like.

If it's a turning problem try hand turning these at least 5 times per day as you won't have so many.

By hook or by crook you will have a good hatch!!

ETA ~ your incubator is good at holding humidity!! And keeping it high!
