Humidity

Your incubator looks really good.

One think which I want to know is can I do water spray through ventilation holes on eggs during lockdown days for humidity increasing ?

I am unable see the dots. I understand you to mean this is only the fourth day of incubation. Odd. Any discoloration on the outside of the shell that appears after incubation means that the egg has gone bad. If the dots appeared after you put them in the incubator remove them carefully and get rid of it outside. Usually eggs do not go bad that fast.

If you want, candle the egg and post it.

Can you post a pict of an egg that has gone bad and what the discoloured shell would look like? Just set 60 eggs and the count down begins.

This is a pictures of my incubator one I saw one egg have some dots on shell what is this today is day 4

Looks interesting! How did you handle ventilation? Vent holes could be causing the humidity issues.
And if its just day 4, you have plenty of time to get it worked out.

The red link in my signature block below on Incubation Humidity may be of interest to you. Good luck with your hatch!

are you sure your hygrometer is reading correctly?
It still should be ok if you can’t get it any higher than that. Just make sure the chicks do not have access to drown in your water pan.

I set 3 temperature meter I think these are accurate + - 2c and my water pan below the wire mesh not inside the egss
