this is my first time incubating eggs and I am trying the dry incubation process I candled tonight and am on day 15 but the 6 that are supposed to hatch soon seem to have a abnormally large air sack is this normal? I read somewhere that when the air sac is too big it means they are shrink wrapped... Is their any way to fix this?
 
You may have waited too late to correct this sadly. You have to watch those air cells like a hawk, and weigh those eggs regularly with dry incubation.
 
I can't find anything suggesting how to fix this. What is your humidity now? You might still be able to get viable chicks out of this hatch

You must live somewhere dry firefly, if I kept my humidity at 60%, I would end up with drowned soup chicks. I live in the mountains where the humidity is always high to begin with.
