What is the ideal temperature for lockdown

[GwenT]

just wondering what the ideal temperature and humidity is for lockdown

Humidity is probably as high as you can get it.
Temperature is either the standard 99.5 or if your hatcher is quite full, drop it a full degree. The idea is that the embryos are generating a lot of heat on their own.

Howdy and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

With most birds the temp should be at 99.5 in a 'forced air' incubator. Humidity should be around 60 to 65%. Do you have independent thermometers and hygrometers, that have been calibrated? or are you relying on the incubators digital readings?
