Hatch Assists

This is confusing and seems contradictive:

"Other people like to use coconut oil to keep the membrane moist and to avoid shrink wrapping. I do not do this only because nothing negative has ever happened with an assist. Maybe because I’m quick, have warm hands and a warm humid house or I’m just lucky. However, I do recommend you moisten the membrane with some oil.
Grab a que tip and just slightly moisten the tip. Then gently rub the membrane. You want to use as little as possible to avoid drowning the chick and causing further issues. Coconut oil is thicker and does not run, this is why I recommend it."

Also, please put your video on YouTube, then link it back to here so we're not led to another venue to see it. Otherwise, it's a good article about how to help a chick hatching when we really don't have a choice.
Don't assist too soon. :barnie
A good general outline of the process. Some photos showing each step in the body of the article so people can look at them as they read would be helpful.
good introduction to assisted hatch conveying your personal experience but could use more photos of the process and additional details regarding overall survival and health of such hands-on hatching methods

Thank you for your feedback. There is a video link of the whole process at the top of the article. I will also provide an edit regarding survival and health stats.
Add more pictures and embed your video, and I will re-rate this.

I have tried to embed the video but it won’t work for some reason. That’s why I did the link.
Good article but could use more photos of the process.
