I only had five eggs hatch out of 52. All the eggs I did egg topsies on were formed and looks like they quit around day 18-19. Temp stayed consistant, humidity stayed 50+ the whole time *edited: during the last three days of lock down, only 20-30% humidity during the first 18 without any water added*. The last two eggs were shrink wrapped one ended up passing away (hoped out of a basket, through a piece of chicken wire to the light bulb where I think it got over heated and died).
I am considering making a 2nd incubator and then turning my incubator into a hatcher. So that way I can raise the light (which I want to change to an heat emitter for reptiles) to the highest shelf and hang it above. Also maybe making the batches smaller to maybe a dozen at a time.
This is my 3rd hatch and my results are as follows:
first hatch zero
2nd hatch 2
3rd hatch 5.
Edited humidity info due to mis-typed error.
