New to incubating anything "HELP PLEASE!"

[Okisaki]

I have a 1266 GQF cabinet incubator. I figured out how to raise temp and humidity. I just don't know what I need the temp and humidity set at for chicken eggs... please can someone tell me what I need to know???

Temp is 99.5 F.
Humidity can vary depending on the eggs. Some shoot for about 35% for most of the time and then raise it to about 60% or so for the last couple days.

I have never incubated eggs so I'm can't offer advice except you could post your question(s) on one of the "hatch a long," threads that are running now.

I accidentally posted it here
