I have 5 Pekin duck eggs in the bator. It is a still air bator. I have kept the temp at about 99.5. I measure the temp at about 2 inches from the floor of the bator. I should be going into lockdown, but over the last few days I have noticed that the air cells are too small. I am afraid the duckies will drown. I have removed all water from the bater as of yesterday. I don't want to raise the humidity, and go into lockdown. What if anything can I do to help the air cells get larger? Should I go into lockdown anyway?

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.
