Honestly, if you are sure of your hygrometer, 35-50% is fine. Mine usually stays in the low 40's the first 18 days. Then I up it to between 60 and 70%. My hatches are clean and usually, they get out without any assistance. Humidity is less of an issue than temperature.

What I would suspect is suffocation at the end. People try to up the humidity and close up all the holes when the peeps need oxygen the most.

I'm sorry about these. Even veteran hatchers sometimes have bad hatches--so many variables! Better luck next time!
