    The look fine so far. Just keep an eye on them in case they get worse...

    Thank you 👍.

    Sorry for asking. I was just nervous. Humidity is 96%. Temps are fine.

    I could get the egg crate and put the eggs on that and add more water to get humidity at 100%. Think that's a good idea?

    I would leave it as is for now, for sure. Seems like lots of people report eggs sinking in a little the first week and then no further issues for the rest of the incubation period...not sure why.

    Anyway...messing around with them at this point would do more harm than any potential good. They look fine to me. Keep an eye on them, relax, and enjoy the ride!

    Ok.

    I even replaced the paper towel I have under the lid. This stops any condensation to drip on the eggs.

    I don't think that will hurt anything, but I'm also not convinced it's necessary...unless the egg box is just incredibly full of condensation or you never open the egg box to check the eggs and clear off any condensation.

    By the way...what was the pairing here?

    Well the condensation was enough for after two days when I took the lid off and turned it. Water would run off the lid. So I figure paper towel would help.

    Eggs only five days old but started denting.

    I made a video to show my eggs. All were fuller when they were laid a week ago. Let me know if I'm overreacting or not.

    Some people told me the eggs are drying out. Your thoughts?
