Humidity in chicken eggs

[Vmuss13]

So I’ve hatched chicks before and I was successful with 4/6 that hatched. I’ve read that the humidity is really really important in hatching and I have seen so many things like 40 to 50% or 50 to 60% or 30s ok I just to know some opinions with your guys experience what humidity percent has worked best for you?

I do 35-45% for chickens. Just watch your air cell. That os how ypu can figure out what works for you. Start at a certain % and watch your air cells. If they seem too small, lower it. Too big, up it.

Thank you so much!

I'd start with 30%, and then adjust, but I don't ever need too.
