Day 15 of incubation. Are these air cells too small or just right?

[Pandang81]

I started with 30 eggs & after removing the yolkers & quitters I am on day 15 with 21 eggs growing. I’ve had humidity pretty high during first several days due to large saddled air sacs in several of these shipped eggs and they have been growing well. Now that we are in day 15 I’ve brought down the humidity quite a bit from day 13-15 & have started to pay more attention to the air cells. Especially the air cells in the eggs that weren’t saddled/large at beginning of incubation. Attached are pics of a few of them. How do they look? Too small? Too big? Just right?
Thanks!

Today is day 16…I hope a more experienced incubator can let me know if I should bring humidity down these last couple of days before lockdown or keep it in 45-50’s?

How'd you do?

How'd you do?b

11 hatched out if 19. I think my humidity was too high that whole incubation round.

I think I've got a similar problem except I've only got 8 babies in there. I'll be happy if I get 2 chicks...

I think I have the same problem. Day 16 and I lowered my humidity to 35 (from 50-55%) I have 16 eggs. Sigh this is the worst part.
I hope I’m not ruining them. Sigh

You should be alright. What are you using to measure humidity, digital is usually off.

 

[chickfused]

I got way more than 8 chicks. Everything worked out fine!

I was…Now I only keep humidity high for the first 5 days while shipped air cells settle. Then dry hatch. Had a 100% hatch rate these last 2 times doing that.

I'm in the same boat right now. Lockdown time and lots of eggs moving, but even though I meticulously kept humidity at incubator recommendations, when I candled them on day 15 I think the air cells were way too small. I'll wait and see what happens, hoping for the best and definitely learned from this! I hope you've had a wonderful experiences since then.
