INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

Okay, y'all, here we go

12 eggs, day 7, 1st candling

3-4 have air cells pretty much where they should be
In the rest, the AC's take up half the egg

I'm guessing the humidity being all over the map for several days is the culprit.
I've been trying to keep it around 35%, but it's been 40% or more, even up to 50% for extended periods more than once

I can't find in the notes how to correct the problem, but I'm thinking I need to run way below normal RH & see if they straighten out.
That sound right, or am I bass-akwards?

Didn't want to leave the lid off any longer, but I can get a couple pics, maybe, if the description above isn't enough.

Did you see growth? Pics would help, or pics of air cell lines.

Let me see if I can get a decent image of one of them...BRB

Also when you are eating the eggs are some shells softer while others harder.

If it were me, I'd try to keep the humidity in the 35-40 range. I know that is what you have been trying to do. Lower humidity would make air cell grow faster. I don't understand why they would grow that large so quick though.

Yea I can see it now. Honey, honey wake up can you tell me if the shells are weak?

X2 especially if the other 4 are normal the AC on them would grow too fast otherwise

Those eggs may end up somewhere other than the incubator!!!!! Lol

All I can do @ this point is wait 'til I see the wife tomorrow morning, about 11:00...she leave for work @ 5:00. Maybe with her holding the candler to the egg in a semi-dark room I can get a decent picture
