these are bantam cochin eggs. out of 15 Im down to 7. They are all moving and looking good as I candle them, its just the air cell is so large. Maybe almost a 1/4 in some eggs. Ive had the humidity at 45-50 so far. I just bumped it up to 55-60, is this a bad Idea? (I have 2 meters, calabrated both, one is high, the other low, and they read the same.) help. thanks

Increase humidity was going to be my suggestion. Are you sure the hygrometer is correct?
