I put eggs in lockdown around 730 am today and this afternoon around 5 i had to add water to a middle tray because humidity was 60 and I thought i would add a little to be sure it stays in the 60 during lockdown...i was quick and the temp barley dropped...but the humidity did...will they still be ok?

As long as none have pipped you are fine.
 
Sorry, Panda :/

Update from here: of my 15 shipped-egg blackout babies, I have 14 pecking around the brooder right now! Unbelievable. The straggler is just trying to get completely free of the bottom half of the egg - not sure if there's something wrong there (dried/yolk sac issues/weak) - but I'm just leaving it in the incubator now to see if it can sort itself out. It was getting on to 36 hours since the first one had hatched and they were all going a bit Mad Max in the 'bator, so I had to get the 14 out!

Photos to follow.

I hope not but I don't know. One of my two looked a lot like that before lockdown. Hopefully one of the experienced ones can help us. Did you dry incubate? I don't know what normal looks like at day 17/18 after dry incubation so I thought it was due to that...? Online I found lots of day 7,14,18 diagrams but they were for 50% humidity. My air sacs were big & weird shaped but they were shipped eggs too & most were detached and floating around.

I did dry incubation- I have local eggs and I have shipped eggs and my shipped eggs look more like this one -the saddle shaped air sac and it being much larger.. my local eggs all look like the diagrams (textbook) - I did both of them dry (30-44% humidity for first 18 days) in the same incubator set the same day. So its definitely different with shipped eggs...
