EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Christinecam]

I really hope I'm posting this in the right spot.
I'm currently incubating my first eggs. Bator: Farm Innovators, model 4250. Shipped polish eggs. All eggs shipped very well, and settled for about 14 hours. I do have an extra thermostat and humidity gauge, that I tested prior to putting eggs in. The mistake I made is, filling all the water troughs, and spiking the humidity. I have both vents off and both gauges are reading at 72-73. I put a fan near and it's dropping but... do I just wait this out and leave it alone or disrupt the incubation? Which would involve handling the eggs more than I'm comfortable.

The fan actually worked and the humidity is now at 44. On both gauges.
It was that high for close to exactly 12 hours. -face palm-
Still take it out?
Thanks!

If you have 40%-45% it is correct and you don't have to.

I need lots of advice! My daughter just brought me 5 turkey egg's.Her hen has been sitting on them, 1 is about 10 or 12 days along and the youngest one could be 8 days.
I candled them right away and I can see the different stages of incubation.
Im not real sure of setting dates on any eggs . four are very alive, air sacks are to small.(I will drop humidity into the 30tys right away)One egg is solid and I can't see anything? How do I deal with a staggered hatch when I don't know the dates?
I do have a second bator to move eggs to as hatcher with higher humidity.
