we do 50% and 70% last 3 days

50% is where it was most of the first 18 days, it would bump up to 60-65 when I was adding water and spilled it but once it dried up it went back down . I did lose power on day 7 and it went up to 70 % for about 3 hours.

I've now got 4 of 5 pipped
1 is now working to breakthrough
1 now has twice the original pip spot
1 now has 3x the original pip spot
The other is still the orignal pip spot
The 5th just started seeing it start to wobble last night no pip yet ( but it does have a pretty good ( made by me accident ) crack that originally was right on the air cell line ) so it either didn't internally pip when I thought or it's been getting oxygen already bc of the crack.
Ya I am worried it will dry out , don't want to assist to soon or at all if possible plus I don't want to compermize the other 4

humidity is nowhere near as vital as temp when it comes to short term changes. If it jumps up or down not a big deal at all in the short run. Mine run at 50ish and when they run out they drop to 20% or so until I add water and sometimes thats a day or so until I get around to it. Think of it outside, from day to night humidity changes, raining ect... humidity changes day to day.

Ya I understand that ,
For me 50% was to high and air cells weren't even close to being big enough a week ago they were only the size of day 7ish, but I must of caught it in time because I am now a proud momma of a very active duckling about 45 min ago
