I got those figures from a university web site.

There are a lot of different opinions on Humidity levels, it's all about finding what works for you. And if this works for you, then that is awesome that you found your perfect level on the first try.

I don't know how well it's working. I have one more that is in the process of hatching - but 2 of the 7 peeps that have hatched don't look well at all. I'm not sure if they're going to make it They're just laying there. They're breathing, but haven't gotten up in the past hour. Should I take them out and try giving them electrolytes or let nature take it's course? I still have 13 that haven't hatched. You use a much lower humidity?

They are day old babies they do sleep a lot its normal. Congrats on the hatch. If your incubator is still air then the temp should be closer to 102

I'm so sad, 2 of my newly hatched peeps died.

2 others don't look great, 3 look fine. There is one other trying to hatch, the others are not showing any sign of it.
