Hello,

I am very new to all of this. I just put chicken eggs in lock down yesterday, and I think their air sacks MAY be too small. I know now it would have been better to be keeping track all along so I could have adjusted the humidity! Anyways, I am wondering if you can please tell me if they look small (I know the angle isn’t great) and if so, what I should do now?! Any help or advice is appreciated. Thank you!

I find it's very hard to judge air cells... Not that you can do it now but weighing is much more accurate. Those look like they could be fine, they'll be going waaaay down over the next couple days.
Do you know what your humidity has been like? If you find you have chicks that die after internal pip or are hatching really sticky or with unhealed navels, then you'll know it was too high and you can adjust next time.
