They dont always hatch on cue.

I heard that the humidity is supposed to be 60-65 on the last 3 days of incubation. I got all 5 eggs to pip the 21-22 day with the temp at 99-100 and the humidity pretty stable around 65. And eggs hatching late can be normal. I had a chick hatch once on the 24th day and it came out perfectly fine. Nature knows best. Don't interfere and don't worry. I'm so worried that I'll kill a baby chick so I usually wait until the 40th day to crack unhatched eggs open to look for signs of development. You could check earlier, like the 30th day. If they don't hatch the first time, incubate, incubate again! You cant imagine how many clutches of eggs I attempted to hatch before I perfected my homemade incubator, and even now, it doesn't hatch every chick.

The humidity in a hatcher is based on the surface area of the water..NOT the volume. Somehow spread it out. You want a large surface area. If you can get that your humidity will go right up.
