We had to move some eggs to an incubator because our broody was sitting on eggs at different stages of development. Our broody hatched 3 eggs and we were afraid the eggs that are only a couple weeks into growth would get cracked or she would stop sitting on them. We’ve never incubating eggs or even had a broody hatch eggs so I’m a total newbie. I’ve been reading and many of you have helped get us this far but I have another question.
We candled tonight and 2 of our eggs are around day 14 but the 3rd now looks near hatch time. The egg is full and air sack is smaller. Will increasing the humidity to help this one hatch harm our other 2 eggs? What do we do now?

Don't increase humidity until you see an external pip.
