Usually you keep your temp exactly the same as it has been through the incubation. Some people like to turn it down a degree or so in the last day before they're due to hatch, but that's personal preference. At this stage the chicks are pretty much fully developed, so a slightly lower temp won't do any harm. I guess some people like to have it slightly lower for when they hatch, so if they're in the bator for a couple of days while the hatch takes place, it's not so hot for them. I've never turned my own temp down though.
