Newbie needs help with incubation

[bwhitley4936]

I set 6 eggs from one of my hens late day on the 10th. I have to take my daughter for 24 hour medical testing this morning. I had planned to start the lockdown process before leaving, but am second guessing that plan on account that my air cells seem on the small side. I don't want to raise the humidity any sooner than nessicary, but yesterday afternoon I could see the eggs rocking in the incubator. Is rocking a sign they could pip soon? They have been incubating at temps around 99-100° with humidity levels in the mid 30s. There are no signs of internal pipping yet. Any advise would be appreciated!

Hi, welcome to BYC!

I don't have experience with incubating but there's a helpful forum here for incubating and hatching:

Someone there should be able to answer your questions. Hope things go ok for your daughter and good luck with your hatch.

Nice to have you here!
