I think the first egg looks fine. The others look like they could do with losing more moisture yet. But they all look better than I was expecting from what you described. Drop your humidity for the last few days, and don't worry too much. Chances are they could still do okay...
 
i would drop to about 30-35% and check again on the 18th if all looks well at that time go into lockdown and raise it to 65-70%. if they dont look like the lost enough i read that you can go into lockdown a day late and be fine. i'm new at this and thats what i have been told and have read several times on different threads
 
my eggs are to dark to see through if there is other light sources and the little led i have is not strong enough eaither but i can see outline in the egg
 
They look great to me! One I can see veins.

Take a deep breath, relax. Day 18 and 19 when they start losing alot of moisture and will dip like they do in pete55 posts.

My opinion is I would keep it at 40%.

Some of those air cells do look a bit small to me. You can even see a bit of yolk still in one of them. You may want to try dry incubation next time. I have converted to it and am very pleased with the results. I think the humidity suggestion is fine at 30-35% until lockdown. Good luck!

Are you sure? Im freaking out right now! I am a vrey busy person, so being able to incubate is a luxury! I'd hate to go though 21 days of turning for nothing! This might be the only time i get to incubate!
