Panicked!! Wrong duck air sac size!

Lowering the temp isn’t necessary, but if it makes you feel better, some folks do it.

By pressing I mean when you candle, does the air cell still look flat? (I don’t mean the normal tilt down the egg) Sometimes if you shine the light across the line where the darkness meets the light, you can see them pushing against it. Think of a ballon stretched tight over a glass, with something trying to get out from under it. When they poke against it and start getting into hatching position, sometimes you can see it moving by candling.

I didn’t see that

Well in one I saw a head and possibly a bill pushing towards the air sac

Probably best to go ahead and add water and raise the humidity.

Good luck! I hope you’ll keep us posted.

That’s pretty high, let it settle in though before you do any adjusting.
65-75% is usually high enough. Don’t worry too much about the number, just make sure there is no condensation (or very minimal) or definitely no dripping.

Is this fine.

I keep it closed now right?

That is ok, just make sure the eggs don't get any moisture dripped on them.

Try not to open the lid, unless its necessary to add more water, etc. Especially once they pip, its best to keep it closed as much as possible.
