I just had my first serama hatch. Day 20, pipped yesterday. 5 more have pipped. I am so worried about shrink wrap. That happened in my old Brinsea Eco Minis so this new Maticoopx incubator has been awesome. I stopped turning at day 16. Temp 99.5 and prelockdown humidity 50-55. Lock down humidity 60-70. Does the egg she came out of look 'dry'. I am super stressed about the remaining eggs being shrink wrapped. I never had this issue until my last 2 hatches and now I am worrying so much about it....thank you, pics of her egg attached. You guys are the best!

If your humidity is actually in that range, you should be fine. I see nothing alarming and can see the hatchling has already started drying out so the eggshell will be drying also.

I had a serama breeder tell me she uses higher humidity for her seramas than other chicks. I also heard to fill their waterer base with marbles so they can't fall in and drown. I have some to hatch in about 5 days and I'm a little nervous lol they aren't for beginners, from what I hear.
