No, why would you do that? Where did you hear that? Unless your temp is over 100.3 then keep it stable

Some people like to turn the temperature down 0.5-1 degree during lockdown and/or when the chicks starts hatching. You don't have to though. I always keep the temperature constant during incubation, lockdown and hatch. 95* is too low, whether you are using a still air or a forced air incubator.

Ah I see...
Well TECHNICALLY they could hatch at 95*. Metzer farms collected a 150 duck eggs to sell as Balut, and when the person did show up they put them in the bator and hatched out 120. They generated that much heat to keep them alive. But you still should keep it between 98-100.3
