well all of my hatchies are always below 50% hatch rate and now im fed up! at the start of my incubation i have my steady temps of 37..5 degrees celcius and 50-55%humid day7 i candle and mark air bag,day14 i candle and mark air bag and day 18 i candle mark air bag, rase the humid to 65% and stopped turning when they pip i leave them soon as the chick hatches i take it out and put it in the brooder , i've looked into the dry incubation methode but it too confusing :S caanyone help me rase my hatch rates . i've just put another 23 eggs in the bator. also my incubator is a king suro 20 fully automatic inccubator so it tturns the eggs for me and i cann change the humid/ttemps really easily thanks :)
 
Unless you are incubating in a dry desert, you need to lower that humidity pronto. I keep my humidity at 30-35% until day 18. I only raise it to 65% when they are right on the verge of hatching. Sounds to me like you are drowning most of them.
 
I keep my humidity at around 30% day 1-18 then stop turning and bump humidity up to around 65% the last 3 days. Hard to tell you what all could be happening with your hatches without seeing your incubator and how it is set up.
