Hi everyone. I have eggs in an incubator as the humidity in my house isn't great. In the incubator I've kept the humidity around 50-60%.

The eggs are fertile and a few days old, a week and less. The air sacs are very small which I know suggests a high humidity. But is there a way this can be solved? Ive heard you can prick the egg to oet some air in, but exactly how should this be done and should you then cover the small hole in the shell?

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply! The oldest egg is 10 days old. I've reduced the humidity in the incubator so 🤞 that helps! And yes, I'm very reluctant to start putting holes in the eggs.
