Help I accidently left my Humidifier on!

[AlchemyFarms]

I left the house for a few hours and I accidently left my humidifier on in my home made cabinet incubator. When i opened the incubator 99%+ humidity. The eggs was damp, they are under 10s old. Before the incident I candled all the eggs and all showed veins and a little body. How much damage did I do? Typically my humidity stays between 21-27% but since I did a candle season the door being opened and closed I turned on the humidifier to bring it to 35% yesterdays pic for reference but not apart of todays one and only mistake.

Humidity is counted as an average. I personally think they should be fine. Better than if the temperature spiked at least. I haven't experienced this myself, at least nothing this severe, though.

Ok thank you! I am still a little freaked out they dried up pretty quick i just don't know how damaging the moisture on the eggs could cause? Worried I drowned them. Just trying to prepare for the worst when I candle again to either expect them dead or continue on my streak of happiness ill have some shipped ayam cemani chicks hatching this month.

At this stage in incubation, you should be just fine as long as it doesn't happen repeatedly. One thing that's interesting about moisture on the outside of an egg is when allowed to evaporate it will actually cause the egg to lose more weight. That's why when you're hatching waterfowl it's suggested that you do a spray and cooling period. Anyway, you should be just fine. Elevated humidity for long periods of time in lockdown can cause fluid to build up in the air cell and drown a chick when they internally pip but I really think with if being a short period of time that you should be fine.
