We have 13 laying hens we got last year and a RIR rooster ("Sam") that sired 35 RIR and RIR/PBR chicks with them this year. Those incubator-born birds are about 3 months old now. We lost four of those early on, and about 7 of the 55 total eggs had developed chicks that didn't hatch--probably because the humidity dropped too much near the end.

Also if the humidity is too high during incubation and the chicks that didn't hatch that are fully developed, can drown because of condensation in the air cell and when they internally pip they can drown. Good luck with your birds and have fun...
