Need Help! Wet eggs in incubator

[T.Pierre5]

Hi everyone.
I'm on day 19 of incubation and I noticed the humidity was on 54% so I upped it a bit to the 70's. However, it's not until I finish putting the water I realized four (4) of the eggs have drops of water on them. Is this bad? Will they die? Sigh I want to cry please help

It won't hurt them You can wipe them off, if you want. Likely it'll evaporate off of them in a little bit anyway.

Thanks

I wouldnt wipe them - a few drops of water shouldnt hurt

Do not wash dirty eggs or wipe eggs clean with a damp cloth. This removes the egg's protective coating and exposes it to entry of disease organisms. The washing and rubbing action also serves to force disease organisms through the pores of the shell.

I agree with Pyxis...

Just ensure your humidity isn't so high that it's condensing on the lid and continuing to drip on the eggs... as it could possibly cause an issue AFTER they have externally pipped.

How many ya got? Happy hatching!

A follow up to my post

Wet eggs reminded me of a Nature movie I saw that had sea birds nesting on a cliff raising their eggs in cold puddles - bird eggs are pretty amazing development packages

Your humidity may be a tad high. Good luck.

On a side note, do I still have to pursue what I need to do to send eggs to Trinidad and Tobago?
