That could be why you had a low hatch rate. You should have your humidity at around 45% for the first 18 days then up it to 65% for the last 3.

I had 40 eggs divided in 2 bators. So far 25 have hatched and I have 15 left to hatch. I'm on Day 22, going into Day 23. I still have pips happening and I now know that at least 2 of the eggs are duck eggs, which I didn't know before.

I think if you increase your humidity the next time, you'll have a better hatch rate.

Good luck!

I think your right cause the hatch that was the most succesful of mine I did have the humidity higher I guess I will try again.
