Does this air pocket look like day18? I know pictures aren't great I'm sorry. My incubator will turn to 3 days in two hours. This is my first incubator hatch and one is twins. I'm struggling with humidity bought a thermpro and Govee they are about 10% lower than my kebonnix. Struggle to get to 50% and it's been pretty low this whole time as I just got the hydrometers. incubator was regularly in the 30% which means likely lower😬

Every hatch, is a LEARNING experience. You have 3 days to go,, so not much you can do to change things. Remember, that hens sitting on eggs, hatch out their chicks without added humidity.
The TWIN is not likely to produce 2 chicks,,,,,, but it can on rare instances.
If you are desperate to increase humidity,, then slip in a few wet paper towels into incubator,, and observe results.
Many peeps like to have 70% humidity at Lockdown. I think 60% would be just as good. :idunno

Are you candling on day 18? Let that egg cook and potentially hatch. Don't worry so much.

I just candled 36 eggs at day 10. I have about 4 that are questionable. But they are all still cooking and I won't mess with them again until they start hatching. I'll take out the hatched chicks and let the unhatched continue.

There's a bit of science but the majority of incubating eggs is just sit and wait. Don't stress out. Around 70% humidity after day 18 and hands off.
