Have had several chicks start to peck through shell, but don't finishing hatching.

Are they still alive? There's an excellent article here on BYC about assisted hatching.

What humidity during incubation?

Are they starting to hatch on the right day or are they early or late?
Humidity during hatch?

Most of ones that I've hatched that have done that have had too high of humidity during incubation.

That could be my problem, during incubation I have had the humidity at 60 and during hatch have raised it to around 70.

Yes I aim for 40-50 during incubation and 50-60 during lockdown.
