Alright so im on day 18 and i locked it down today. Now it seems like everyone has different humiditys they use for the final three days. Im thinking bout 70% for final 3 days. I had it between 50-55% for days 1-17 but im curious on everyone elses numbers. Please share?

I usually try to stick between 65-70...seems to be the average I've seen...however, I'm newer to hatching! Hopefully some of the experts chime in for you!! Good luck on your hatch!!!

I hatched some duck eggs and had a hard time keeping mine around 70%.
For chickens 60-65 is fine. I am sure you would be ok with 70, they may take a little longer to fluff up.

I'm sure you will get many different suggestions of what works for others. I keep my humidity (dry hatch) at around 35% for the first 18 days. On day 18 when I go into lockdown I up it to 70% to 75%. My hatches are 95% to 100%. This is what works for me. Good luck and have fun...
