Yeah I'm not the one to ask air sac questions to lol I just kinda roll with it and let nature take it's course.

I hear ya.
I'm not going to do anything about trying to change them anyways.
I still have not added any water...the humidity has gone up slightly to about 20% though.

You are in the bad range for humidity!

Dry hatch does not mean no water it means lower than traditional humidity. Humidity varies from place to place so you need to add water sometimes.

Humidity below 25% is too low. You are risking numbers 5,8,9,10,13,17 and 20 as listed in the uploaded pdf.

Humidity should be from about 35% to 55%.

Be prepared to help them when they hatch

I have two whole live quail eggs.

All you need is for one to be a female and one a male and you are in business.

 

[Morrigan]

I did! 16 eggs. 2 duck, 8 guinea, 6 chicken all in one incubator
Because I'm insane like that.

Happy hatching!

2 days old they get evicted to outside

usually it's 5 but only downfall hen hatching is I've found the chicks to be wayyy louder than incubated chicks when taken away
