    Help! Humidity advice for large detached air cells!

    I have 6 shipped eggs all but 1 have detached saddle shaped air cells. I found this out on day 8 from candling. I read an earlier thread about keeping them upright in an egg carton through the remainder of the incubation which I have done (it’s day 10 now). Prior to finding the detached air...
