[Malikshahzad]

The point of lockdown is to keep humidity constant. As long as you keep humidity up to to 65% then you will be fine.

You might want to invest in an incutherm temperature regulator though. Temps need to say .5 from 99.5 for incubation to work well.

Like ronott1 said you need to be able to control the humidity too and keep it high enough for the eggs to hatch without the chicks getting shrink wrapped.
