Just Checking....Incubator Temperature/Humidity

[CaramelKittey]

Hi all!
We are getting ready to incubate some Patridge Silkie and/or Mille Fluer Belgian Bearded D'uccles, and I just wanted to make sure...
The incubator temperature should be at 99 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity should be between 45-55? It's been a couple years since we incubated eggs, and I'm a little rusty on my incubator knowledge.

Thank you!

Temp should be at 99-100, I've heard a lot of opinions on humidity but that does sound a little humid to me.

Temperature should be at 99°F- 101°F normally and during lockdown it should be 98-100. Humidity should be 40%- 60% normally and 55%- 75% during lockdown.

I keep my temp at 100. As for humidity I have been having issues with low hatch rates, wet chicks. I had my humidity at 45. So this time around I did a dry hatch. Added no water until lock down. The humidity held strong at 30. Had all eggs hatch but one. Keep in mind in dryer climates you may still need to add water. Happy Hatching!
