Same temp, lower humidity but best to monitor via weightloss (humidity requirements vary through the season). You want them to lose 14% of their weight by the time they're due to hatch i.e. over 28 days.

Just checked mine again - still no sign of pipping at day 31

I was so looking forward to having more Swedish Blues too.
