Worried about late hatchers

You might try putting a small piece of wet sponge, or paper towel in it to keep the humidity up, but too there is a big risk of shrink wrapping each time you open it. You could get a spray bottle, and lightly mist inside, when you open it.

When adding water make sure your water is warm, close to the temp of your incubator. If there is another channel in your tray, a small one, try adding water to that one to raise humidity. If not I also recommend a small damp sponge, but they do tend to dry out after a few hours and you don't want to be lifting lid during hatching, so you would have to be able to access sponge with a straw through ventilation holes if your incubator has those and use syringe and straw to keep sponge damp.

I Checued on them today. Same story. But I have noticed that my chicks when candled appear to be on day 18 even though today is day 22. Yesterday they had visible veins in the bottom of the egg above the air sack.

OK so one hatched by its self another tried to come out the side so I helped it a little and it's fine so far. One looks like the humidity was to high and it passed. So now I have five and they are two or three days late. I was able to see inside a little and it appears to be shrink wrapped but it's breathing and there are red veins still on the membrane. I don't know what to do at this point.
