Humidity during lockdown?

[Newbie_Hatcher]

I'm locking down my duck eggs tomorrow and was wondering what humidity I should aim for? I've seen so many different preferences for what it should, I'm at a loss for what to go with. I've had it at a steady 50% for the hatch so far. Thanks!

I ran at about 35% for the first 18 days and am on day 22 now. Humidity has been mid 60s during lockdown and so far I have 11/24 hatched with many pips still...

With the duck eggs that I just hatched Tuesday, I had humidity at 50% for the beginning and then 80-90% during lockdown.
Good luck!

Thanks for all the responses

Sorry, didn't 'read' the question... You said duck eggs. Mine were chicken eggs - not sure if that matters...
