Newbie needs help

No, I regularly move my eggs from one incubator to the lockdown incubator. Lots of people do it; it's the best way to incubate eggs with different hatch dates at the same time

Thank you, I'm planning on incubating for the first time in a month so I wanted to make sure for myself as well.

! I breed ACs too Have for a little over four years now. They're lovely chickens.

At 30 days, I would think those eggs are no good. I would toss them. Perhaps open them up before you do to try to see what went wrong.

It's very possible that the thermometer and hygrometer that you have aren't correct, so you'll want to calibrate them to make sure.

Correct temperature depends on your incubator - is it still air or forced air (does it have a fan)? Humidity will depend on your area and climate. I personally use 30%. I would start at 30 or 40 percent, see how that's going, and adjust if you need to.

And here's an incubating guide for beginners that you can read through too

We put them in a still air for the first 18 days then put them in a forced air with a fan for lock down the hygrometer read 63 but the incubators were in a drafty spot in the house. It is very cold right now in SC and our heat is not controlled so it ranges a lot. How do I calibrate my thermometers all read different.

There's a section on how to do that in the article I linked Once you get them calibrated, make sure you are using the right temperature, too - still air temperature is different from forced air. Still air should be 101.5 F measured at the top of the eggs.
