When the humidity is too high during incubation so the air cell doesn't get large enough. The chick pips the aircell and sometimes is met with more fluid and drowns.

My humidity during the first 18 days usually stays between 35 and 50%, then I raise it up to about 65%, no more than 70%, during the last three days.

Temp in all still air bators should be 101-102 at the top of the eggs. In a circulated air bator, 99.5-100 degrees anywhere in the incubator.
