I try to aim for a minimum of 65% during lockdown.

62% is right where I shoot for. As they start to pip and hatch the humidity will spike and why I keep it under 65% to start.

You really don't want the humidity to get so high at hatch time. I even quickly lift lid up an inch now and then (not taking off) to keep the humidity under 70%. Too high of humidity causes some problems, they get sticky and can't move as easily in shells and wont dry out well. I don't like having to wash the chicks to get the sticky album off them.
