You'll do fine just make sure you have qtips,sharp scissors,coconut/olive oil,water, paper towels,tweezers and a nice bright light helps. Just remember if you do go ahead and help your doing your best to give them a fighting chance even if none make it you tried and should be proud of yourself for trying.
I live in the UK humidity is normally 40- 75% my hydrometer said my bator humidity was round 40-50% yet my chicks were shrink wrapped how idk but they were. Better to be open-minded then not.
Yes a lot of ppl rush to assist it's true some I agree. I have never heard of someone misusing shrink wrapped tho unless they themselves were told inaccurate info?. No need to apologize your just saying what you know. Just because I'm in the UK tho don't make my advice better or worse then one else's I'm just saying what I have learned in a short curve.
if not any suggestions for when i try again that may help?

it is wednesday 1.46 pm here todo you remember when they starting getting that way?
I'm not sure of our time difference, but it's just Wednesday morning here. If you set on Monday afternoon, the third day overdue would start Thursday afternoon.
And, with as high as your humidity had been, i doubt true shrinkwrapping will be a problem. And with the temps on the low side, it's even less likely.
But.. if the air cell has drawn down, it's a toss up now, so I'd say at this point, you have to trust your gut feeling. Go in whenever you feel the time has come.
Did you ever take any pics of the air cell or trace your air cell lines? I'm curious as to how big they were.
for what its worth, I have a single egg in my incubator that was under a hen. Her chicks hatched last week, this one was alive but was a very late contribution to the nest. I have no idea what "day" it is on, or how much they sat on it, so I'm going by looks and watching the air cell.
