Help! EGG HATCHING while the rest of the eggs are 6 days out.

[Sarahscheekins]

ANY ADVISE APPRECIATED! I have eggs die to hatch in 6 days. My hen was on two and gave up on them with it being cold I brought them in to find they were looking about 19 days old so I added them to incubator. Today one is starting to hatch. I turned up humidity to 65 my concern is for the others that are due in 6 days. Will this the affect the others? Tips on what to do. Ibwent ahead and took out the egg turner

What was your humidity before you raised it up? How big are the air cells in the younger eggs?

55

So I raised from 55 to 65

The younger ones have 5 dYs left the air cells are getting big but not halfway

The air cells in the younger are starting to get big definitely the size between day 14 and 15. I have 5 days left on the younger ones

OK
If the air cells are a good size, they will probably cope fairly well with the higher humidity.
@BelovedBirds can you give any advice, or know anyone else to tag?

When you say starting to hatch, do you mean internal or external pip?
I would raise the humidity and hope for the best. Once the egg is hatched and the chick is out, check your remaining eggs air cells and see if they look on time. If the air cells are a little too small, run the incubator a little drier until lockdown. This is what I did with my staggered duck hatch

Thank you. I woke up to find our first Chick hatched. So I'm wondering if I should cut it back some now.

There's a second egg ready to hatch though, as well, isn't there?
Is that egg alive?
If its alive and almost ready to hatch, I'd keep the incubator locked down until it has

Yes I have one I can hear it chirping since yesterday but no signs it's started to hatch so I've left humidity on 65 and keeping locked down. The others are 5 days away! We have had chickens for a few years but never tried incubating so I'm trying to educate myself so I don't fail them. This is quite the experience
