Please I need help. This is my third time incubating. 9 eggs went into the incubator and 8 made it to lockdown. Today is the 20. My problem now is 6 of the eggs have small air sac. I incubated dry and went on lockdown on day 19. Humidity was 45 to 55 till day 19. I didn’t add water to the incubator for the first 19 days. I only added water at the end of day 19. I want to know if the eggs with small air sac will hatch or I will need to do something about it. No internal pips yet. I candled today and saw movements in all the eggs. I will be reading comments. Thank you.
 
From your description it sounds like your humidity from outside air was high, so incubator humidity slightly high and air cells smaller than expected. It sounds like it is time to let them do their thing. My guess is they will be fine. I know people have hatched with higher humidity than what you mentioned. (Some were intentional)

Thanks for the reply. I will let them to their thing and see what happens.

Update
They all ended up hatching on their own without any assistance. It did take several hours after external pip for them to zip. Once again thanks for the advice. I would have done something if you didn’t ask me to let them do their thing.
