Need some more guidance

Another incubating question from a new person. I have 2 eggs in my incubator that should be hatching this time next week. I also have an additional egg that we put in there about 4 days after those. So, they are not on the same time line. What should I do about raising the humidity for the last three days for the first two eggs so that it won't mess up the third one? Thanks for any ideas!

If there are no pips you can hold lockdown back a day and go into lockdown on day 19 (providing we are talking about chicken eggs). If you are home to monitor you can hold it back until you hear an internal peeping or see the first signs of a pip, but I would be more likely to go ahead and put them into lockdown at the end of 19 if they haven't pipped before that. Technically eggs don't need to be turned after day 14, so not turning them is not an issue-just the humidity.
