Marans is laying or stuck in his shell half in half out. Very dry. Humidity is at 65% so I'm not sure why so dry. 4 shipped are pipped now.

This is going to sound crazy..... I woke up this morning to a hatched chick, and several pips. But I can't find an empty shell. Where could it be?

Bluegill, shellcracker, catfish, crappie, and a water source for livestock

Shellcrackers/stumpknockers
And catfish

My first one to hatch left it's shell with the top on and everything. If it weren't for the zipped part i would have been looking too. Mine are standing up in cartons and i was looking straight down and missed it.

Does anyone think Pensmaster should moisten the membrane?
I had to moisten on with Bacitracin my last hatch.....
Don't take my word Pensmaster, let the experts chime in!
I guess it would depend on how many are still in there?
Don't want to shrink wrap any.
Where , oh where is @sallysunshine
