Just remember this ...... "Don't Open the incubator when they start PIPPING! DON't Don't Don't!!!!
We are researching this and have found(my DH is out of town this week while hatching is going on. We have had 30 of the 36 hatch and 3 were pipped when I left this morning and I think it is due to no one opening the incubator. DH cannot help himself he has to remove the eggs by opening up the entire incubator loosing heat and humidity.
NOW, with that said, I open up the window at the top and remove eggs when there seems to be no more room for chickies to move around but that is all , and I have noticed the heat and humidity do not take a nosedive during that time.
