    Thank you! They could be older? They are not my eggs so I am really not sure I will try just misting the smaller ones. It seems like their air cells haven't grown much, while the other 2 are growing more.

    Thanks! I'm not sure either! I just know living at a higher altitude, keeping my humidity up is working in keeping my air cells under control. Last year at this time...they were as big or bigger than they would be at day 18...so my hatch did not go well Congrats on the early birds!!! Some...
