I Have chicks pipping. Should my temp be different or the same as during incubation? Its at 99 right now in a still air incubator. My humidity is at about 74% is that alright? SO far I have 6 pips but nothing further.
I'm anxious!

Yes, the temperature during hatching time should be the same as during incubation

Humidity for lockdown should be anywhere from 60-70%
Some people have better luck with lower humidity, some with higher. Some people can't
hatch anything over 60%, some people can't hatch anything under 60 %. It depends
on where you live, etc. Generally, 74% is ok.

No need to change the temp and that is about where I keep my humidity at lockdown and if you have pips I say you are doing ok... Sometimes they take minutes from pip to hatch and sometimes they take hours. Just be patient.
