Going by memory, the humidity was too high for the incubation part.
Hatching at 80% may be too high (been a long time since I used an incubator).
Above in the stickys you can read what was posted on this before.

 agd2   with Pete I run those same numbers in my Dickeys Bator and we consistently see 80%-85% hatch rates.  I think 75%-80% is just a little high they probably drowned.  I would check some of them and see what is going on.  Did they fully develop or infertile or what.   Were they from your breeders or shipped?

Personally I would wait until at least the 5/17 or 5/18 before giving up hope.

Check for egg movement and listen for chirping.

They don't always come on time. :wink:
