I open my hatchers and grab the hatched chicks and their shells out quickly as soon as they hatch. I don't leave the chicks in the hatchers to dry out. I have brooder boxes I let them dry out in. My hatchers don't loose much humidity and the temp stay pretty good too and they recovers quite quickly. My brooder boxes are set to 99 degrees. After the chicks have dried out in the brooder boxes they go into a brooder cabinet. It works for me.
