Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Roo drop off days? What do they do with them?

They find homes for them from my understanding. I intend to do more research.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out.

60-75% humidity would be the target for lockdown but it is probably too high for days 0-19. If the humidity is too high during incubation the air cells could be too small at hatch and the chicks might not be able to breath well after pipping internally. I think the last hatch we did the humidity ran about 40% until lockdown and the air cell growth was spot on.

I'm trying to get the humidity down. Thank you for the info!

Welcome to BYC. I live in a very humid climate. I have to run my incubator dry until day 18 when I add water.
I use the weight method to make sure they are losing the right amount of water each day.
