Yes, I always wash my hands right before handling the eggs and I up my humidity to around 70 at lockdown but it will vary between 60 & 70 by the day 19 & 20.

To me they do seem wet but I haven't really had too much to compare them to. I was going with humidity around 55% but with this last batch I decided to try the dry method and see if that helps. I am pretty sure it is a humidity problem.
