For me personally, it has helped somewhat to be an obsessive candler, even though some eggs like 106's (most of my Giants are numbered but not named) are dark speckled and hard to see through--the line of the air cell should be just above halfway down the egg, with bumps (chick's side on the 'full side of the egg and beak shadow on the 'empty' side of the egg) at or near hatch day. The chick SHOULD be stuffed in the pointy end of the egg. You should candle the egg and think, "holy crap, how does a full term chick fit in there?" They get out faster and healthier. At least in my experience.
I have actually used exactly the same technical term, looking at an egg 1/3 air cell and 2/3 chick, very good description of good looking egg ready for lockdown Jan
I have a "First" here, the incubator is set for the 99.8 F it shows on the readout 99.8 and the Spot check thermometer reads 99.8 F
The house temperature is 75 F , that doesn't happen very often when the incubator is going.
The humidity has been hell on wheels with letting it go down to 36% and then adding water with an eye dropper.
I may as well be sitting on those eggs, may be less work.
