Urgent! Please respond ASAP if possible

Hello,

So I've been incubating my chicken eggs for 14 days (today is the 14th day) and I decided to candle them. When I was, I noticed 2-3 of the eggs that had abnormal weird air sacks that took up almost 30-40% of the egg. I had made a mistake for letting the humidity over 70% for 10 hours. Please help, any advise is apreicated. Should I make the humidity extremely low (20-30%) for a few days to balance it out?

Thanks,
BigChick

High humidity does not cause large air cells- low humidity does. The higher the humidity, the less moisture can escape the eggs during incubation. Can you post pictures of what the eggs look like candled? Are these your eggs or were they shipped?

The air cells will get bigger before hatch. I think you are fine! I would try to keep it around 55 until the first pip, but not much lower. Dont worry! Youve got this!

Are they shipped eggs? That kinda looks like a saddled air cell.

Hi,
I have no idea what are saddled air cells, and yes they are shipped.

I settled them after shipment for a good 24 hours, with tip down. I am really stressed right not, I really don't know what I did wrong

This has a lot of helpful information including saddle shaped air cells.

@above, I don't see a link. if you mind sending one.
I've read that I need to put the egg upright (air sack facing up) in a egg carton? Should I start doing that now, or is it too late?


Thanks

Sorry, I'll edit. I set shipped eggs 2 weeks ago. Sometimes they have saddled air cells. You can't help it. We will hopefully have chicks at the same time!
