Do I increase humidity?

Today is Day 7 of my bantam eggs being inside the incubator and I did a weight check on all of them and notice 2 out of 7 eggs that are losing weight too rapidly compared to the rest. It's a 3-4g difference and the average they need to lose is 1.5g per week. More than double! My other eggs only lost about 1g, which is fine I think considering my food scale doesn't measure to the nearest decimal unfortunately.

What should I do? If I increase my humidity I'm scared it might negatively impact the other eggs.
 
Factor humidity weight loss as a group instead of individually.. is what I would do.

Where is your humidity, anyways? Are you using calibrated thermometer/hygrormeter?

Which bator ya using?

I'm using the Brinsea Mini II Auto incubator. I know I should've used a separate thermometer/hygrometer, but it wouldn't fit inside without messing up the turning of the eggs.
