Pic, airsac pointy end shipped egg and moving day 18 HELP

4 have now hatched, one zipping ( day 22 now) couple of more eggs filled, movement but watery so giving them longer. These were eggs shipped from Netherlands to Sweden (6 day journey)
When zipper one is done i will candle the other eggs
 
Ok... didnt make it ofcourse. I eggtopsyd all remaining eggs and all had way too much thick yellow fluid. They drowned is my conclusion. I think due to uncontrollable high humidity. I'll post the photos beginning with the egg on the video

Yes, that maybe it the air cell is very small, but I would check temps throughout your incubator. As the egg in pic was way underdeveloped for day 18 sure signs of low incubating temps also. Incubators tend to have hot and cold spots, most will recommend additional calibrated thermometer and hygrometer inside incubator to know what your temps and humidity really are. Most incubators readings are off and do not read correctly. Shipped eggs can have very poor hatch rates also 50% can be a good hatch for shipped eggs so don't beat yourself up to bad. And welcome to BYC there are some very knowledgeable folks here that are more than willing to help so don't be afraid to ask. :thumbsup
 
Thanks Huntmaster! The incubators are gone and i've bought a Brinsea 56ex. I did have extra thermometer and hydrometers in the machines. One went far too high and hit; ver 40,5degrees several times ( not this hatch) and both couldnt control humidity somehow.
