Setting my BBS orpington eggs tonight. Some are already 8 days old and i want to give them the best chance at hatching. Im concerned that only 4 out out of 18 had air cells. Think i will run humidity 20% for a few days,

We got much more expert than me on here, but I'm thinking it is really not good to go below 25%. How porous are the shells? Since these guys weren't shipped they will probably be fine at 8 days old. If I get my humidity low enough for the BCM's and have leghorns in the same incubator, I won't have a good hatch on the leghorns. Different breeds do best with different humidity based on the shell. I know you usually hatch marans, so I would be careful about getting it Marans dry for the Orpintons.

I'm a little worried about my bantam eggs. Shipped, and very porous, most of them. :/

I'll keep it at 25% then and check them on my first candle day and see how they are.
