duck eggs air cell too small???

[jjtrucker]

I am on day 23 with my welsh harlequin duck eggs and the air cell doesn't look as big as it should be. My humidity has been in the 60s because I read duck egg incubate at higher humidity but now I'm thinking I've had it too high since I candled and the air cell doesn't look big enough. Will it make a difference if I lower the humidity until closer to hatch day or should I just leave it be? Will the ducks still hatch if the air cell is too small?

I'd lower that humidity right away and hopefully those air cells will grow a bit for you. Also, it sounds counter-intuitive, but if you lightly spray the eggs with water once a day that also helps draw moisture out of the eggs and will help the air cells grow. Good luck!

Jumping the thread!
Did this help? I'm in the same boat! Tiny cells, on day 20.
