I'm a little confused with your post. Humidity is measured in percentage (%) and temperature is measured Celsius. Do you mean your humidity is 36 and 31 or your temp is 36 and 31?

If measuring temperature in Celsius it should be 37.5 for the whole of the incubation period.

At day 18 you should stop turning your eggs and put your humidity up to at least 65%. This stops the chicks becoming shrink wrapped in the egg. You get humidity up by adding water to the incubator. It's surface area and not depth that creates the humidity so wet sponges or clean wet cloths work well.
 
I'm afraid 70% is the way too high for day 17 or anything below 17 days. You need to lower your humidity as soon as possible by removing all the water from the incubator. At 70% your eggs are likely to have not lost enough moisture and the air cell will not have grown large enough for the chick to pip into. At 70% they could possibly drown when doing the internal pip.

Keep the humidity as low as you can untill day 19 then put it to at least 60% to give the chicks a chance. Best of luck to you :fl
