Help with Muscovy first time!

[Hatcher1997]

Hello,

I’m on day 20 of hatching two Muscovy duck eggs. Turning 3 times a day. 37.5 degrees and I’m so confused on humidity because I’ve read so many different forums and articles online. I try to aim for more of a dry hatch so it’s usually around 47/48% I’ve tried cooling and misting one or two times so far. The problem is one so much bigger than the other and the air sac is quite different. There’s movement and veins in the eggs but I’m worried about the air sac development? Do I need to increase or decrease humidity and what should I be sticking to? I’ve attached some photos taken today day 20. I candled earlier and the smaller egg was just a big black mass with no visible air sac? But I think I might’ve captured them just now? Any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you!
