Going to try hatching some Ayam Cemanis again

I haven't inspected the air cells yet
But the eggs were packed well.

I always candle before setting eggs (never had shipped ones) to mark air cells and look for cracks or other anomalies.

I'm still pretty new to incubating eggs

You should probably candle them now. If any have detached air cells, or air cells badly in the wrong spot, they need to be removed. It's not terribly kind to incubate an egg when the chick will have massive difficulties hatching, if it ever will.

I don't think shipped eggs should be candled before day 5 after they are set. I feel the risk is too high of unsettling something.

Candling, if done carefully, will not hurt them any further than shipping did.

I think the incubator might be too humid, there is a bit of condensation
I have two hygrometers, but I need to calibrate them both. The incubator is in the same room as two uncovered 40 gallon fish tanks.

Easy to test the hygrometers...then measure incubator and room humidity.
Condenesation inside incubator means near 100% humidity.

I think you're better off running a dry hatch, honestly.
