Once the weight is lost, there's nothing you can do. So you want to keep that from happening :) Being that your humidity is so low, you definitely have room to increase it, so I would do so ASAP. Did you try adding a sponge?
I have to agree with @Pyxis. Don’t let the rapid weight loss happen. Add the sponge!
I did and today it lost only one gram so i think i should have heavy humidity for a couple days to keep in weight i lost....Thanks for all your guys help so far on this journey!

Well don’t go heavy, do everything gradually. It’s like cooking. You don’t wanna cook on high and make everything over done. You need to slowly find that spot where the egg is incubating perfectly.

So if it started at 693g and it idealy needs to loose 15% of that then it would be 103.95g and since the incubation period is 55 days the average it should loose is 1.89? Correct?
 
Yes that’s correct for that incubation period. What temp are you incubating at?
Soooo when it starts to hatch should i move it somewhere else because there is little room in my tiny incubator(And when i say tiny i mean there is zero space if it were to stand up in there)....and after it hatches should i use a heat lamp? I am thinking of creating a pen for it right on my porch? Where is the best place to buy ratite feed? Should i use ratite starter? Is there a specific food out there that they love to eat?
