Having known thermometers and known calibrated humidity readers are a must.

You calibrate your thermometer by placing it in ice water. Your hygrometer by sealing it inside a plastic bag with a little salt and water in a bottle cap. You can find instructions for both here by searching.

If you haven't done so you are only guessing at temps. Could be miles off. Likely the reason previous attempts have failed.

All incubators must have this done. I should say all people incubating must have thermometer and hygrometer of known accuracy in hand to successfully incubate.

I think candling at lockdown is a good idea to avoid exploding eggs spoiling them all.

What are the risks of candling today?
