Air sac seems small

[HollyParks]

I have some Silkie eggs that are on day 14/15 of incubation. The humidity was off so my incubator was around 60% up until yesterday where I let it go down. My concern is their air cells don’t seem to be “shrinking” with lockdown happening tomorrow or Thursday. The chicks are all alive in their eggs but I’m concerned for hatch day.
Should I even increase the humidity for hatching?
Would placing them vertically in an egg carton help them hatch easier? Just trying to troubleshoot for hatching.

I'm not sure what to do at this point.
You say your hygrometer wasn't correct?

You might want to drop humidity for now and only raise it up when you see first external pip, not at lockdown.

I'm in a similar situation. might candle tonight to see if changing the humidity helped.

Correct. It was was off by 10%

Oof, well. You can tilt the egg up by placing it in a rubber band or making a ring out of cardboard, to help the chick aim.

Would egg cartons help? To make sure they pop correctly?

Maybe Styrofoam ones, I'd keep the humidity at 60% for now.
