I was checking my eggs today...And they were dented...What can be causing theis ..Im pretty sure its humid enough ..I also noticed alot of water builds up on the inside of the cover of the petri dish ...Could water have dropped on the eggs and caused them to dent ???

How long have they been in the incubator? Do you know if they are fertile? They may be gettin ready to hatch if they have been in the incubator for 1 1/2 -2 months

If water dropped on your eggs it would do just the opposite..... The eggs would swell to the point of bursting.....Dents are normal..... Do your eggs look white or yellow???? As long as they do not turn yellow and get fungus they should be fine..... Do not over humidify......

The eggs were in the incubator for 2 days and they are not yellow they are white.

Just leave them alone, they are fine..... Give them time..... If they start to turn a pinkish color that means they are doing good and growing blood vessles...... They may swell alittle bit too.....
