Hello and welcome to Backyard chickens! I know zero about incubating and hatching eggs, but here is a link you may find helpful, it would probably be the best suited to post in. I understand though, the first little bit you don't know how to get around the site and it is all a huge mystery! Don't worry, a few days and you will know the site like the palm of your hand! I hope you enjoy Backyard chickens and get some good answers for your question!

Has your humidity been 80 all along?? Too big of air cell means humidity is too low but 80 is not low.

Here's another great place to post incubating questions:
