First time incubating eggs - need advice on air cells please

[aart]

can't see the beak, but then could not with the other one till it was zipping around
when you add any water there is moisture on the dome lid think that is how this incubator is

What does your hygrometer read?

 

[lu bantam chickens]

humidity is about 70% , the second one hatched early this morning and fluffed up
the two chicks are now under heat plate, wegot them out, no more external pips yet hope for more to hatch
chicks are still a little wobbly on their feet back stepping

The heat plate is great way to raise them. My view do not user medicated feed
Please.. If they needs meds later it will be new introduction from us .. Hope that makes sense but a bit of nutri drench or save a chick can keep them going add to water

Did you dip their beaks in the waterer?
Have you had tiny chicks before?

Sav-a-Chick electrolytes/vitamins
That can help, but plain water is fine.
