My broody hen is sitting on 5 muscovy eggs on day 24. The air sacs are way to big, but I see movement so they are all still alive. My question to everyone is is it to late to start misting the eggs? If I boost the humidity up will the air sacs shrink? Also, how many times a day should I mist them?
Thanks!

You are the only answer I have gotten so far! I talked to my friend who started me on pigeons and he suggested wetting my hands and gently rolling the eggs in them a few times a day. I am going to do that and then candle them in a few days and see if the air sacs have shrunken at all. Hope for the best!
