I need a qick answer....

What temp should I have a incubator at to keep hatched chicks comfortable.

The plan is to give them to my broody tomorrow. I was going to move the hatched chicks to my Styrofoam incubator for thw night so it doesn't get to crowded in nr360. Should I have it at 99.5? Or should/can it be different.

Put them in brooder. Temperature at 100F.

Once hatched, I lower mine to 95.

Already hatched chicks?

I'd lower it to 90 quickly.

Once mine were all hatched I moved mine down to 90 like I would in a brooder
To hot in there and they can’t get to a cool area could be bad
Mine did good at 90

Try lowering it to 90. If they all huddle together, raise the temp until they aren't huddling.

Woah.

That’s what I do too. Oh and make sure not to keep the humidity TOO high. They don’t need much humidity once hatched.

How long ago did they hatch?

It is normal to leave chicks in the incubator for 24 hours or so, while waiting for the slower eggs to hatch, without adjusting the temperature. (And if the first chicks do not need their temperature adjusted, I cannot see why any later chicks would either.)

Actually, veterinarians recommend 70% humidity for hospital cages kept at 85-92 degrees.
