ok its 102 and the humidity is 69 and do i need to pull the plugs? sorry its my first hatch

Don't pull the plugs!!! You should individually check each egg and which ever one seems promising, keep them. But if any are really...well, dead-looking/acting, then you should keep the promising ones and work on them.​

I do believe "pull the plugs" meant take out the ventilation plugs not necessarily give up on the eggs?

The temp's good, i think. And now that i think about it, pulling the ventilation plug won't make a big difference right now. But you really should check each egg individually and then work on certain ones that seem responsive

If there's developement, there's always hope! When in doubt, always give it a little more time. Sounds like your temps and humidity are good...

Okay, i looked it up and asked someone i know who is 63 and has been raising chickens since her early 20's and as long as the egg has good veins, then it should be fine, and you don't have to worry too much about that one. And should you find a really strong one, compare all of the other eggs to that one.
