When I 'salt test' calibrate my Accurite Hygrometers, I will calibrate them 3 times and take the average for determining the true %Rh....very rarely will any hygrometer read exactly the same % every time it's calibrated....I only have one that is that reliable, out of 12.

LG incubators are the worse. Hard to regulate temperature and humidity with them....lot's of things you can do to improve the odds but still not really worth it, better to get a better quality incubator.

Not necessarily so....I've had 0% hatch rate when everything was at optimum levels for development and hatching...sometimes the shipping is just too great of an ordeal to overcome!

50% humidity throughout incubation is too high. 40 to 45% would be best during incubation, if Bobwhites, or other 'new world' species, raising it to 50 -55% during the last 3 or 4 days of incubation. If Coturnix, then a Rh% of around 30 to 40% works better, raising it to 50-55% for the hatching...

Blood rings can happen during shipping or if the temperature is too high. What is the brand of the incubator. Did you use a calibrated thermometer? and did you 'salt test' calibrate the hygrometer? What were the average temperature and Rh % during incubation?
