Taking them out of the incubator less is actually probably better for their development, but most of us are such fussy and over enthusiastic incubators that we can't help ourselves from weighing and candling them (way too often usually). Of...

Oh, I meant to ask, have you been monitoring the weight loss of the eggs? That might help in considering whether you need more humidity or not. If you haven't been weighing them, how have the air sacks looked when candling? You can probably find good reference pictures in the forum if you search...
