In need of advice

I had 5 turkey eggs set to hatch over the last weekend. Yesterday one hatched a day late. There is also 2 in there that were supposed to hatch a week ago today. So 7 total. I left the one that hatched yesterday in there all night so he could entice the others to move it along I removed him this morning to his brooder. I candled the remaining eggs tonight of the 6 remaining eggs only one showed a sign of hatching. I found a crack in its shell so I put it crack side up and added some water for humidity. Current temp is 98.5 and humidity is 63%.

First three candled eggs look like they're pipping, the others look either dead or very late. Did you calibrate your incubator? Still air or forced? What model?

its a farm innovators 4250 forced air. Since I added water now the humidity is up to 73% so I don’t know if I should lift the lid again or let it go. I don’t want it to drown. I don’t know how to calibrate so I guess I’ll have to look that up.

Ok, that's good. Don't go much higher on your humidity. I'd continue as planned

I did video the one with the crack but, I Don’t know how to upload iPhone video here. Wondering how long I should wait to see if they hatch now that I candled them tonight.
