    I have 9 Serama eggs ( from my own chickens ) in a brinsea mini automatic incubator.

    Shrink wrapped chicks

    I'm hatching button quail. So far three have hatched, and one is shrink wrapped still in the egg. My incubator is fairly difficult to keep the humidity regulated. Two of my hatched chicks hatched on their own, but one I assisted in hatching because it was shrink wrapped. I'm following the...

    Pip but no movement - shrink wrapped?

    I woke up this morning to see a pip in one of my eggs, super exciting! It looks as though it's the bubs elbow slightly sticking out of the pip hole. It's been a few hours with no movement or peeps to be heard, the humidity was at a steady 70% so I left it be. I came back inside around an hour...

    I should have intervened

    Shrink wrapped chick What else can I do? HELP

    Due to a humidity problem 2 of my chicks that have pipped are shrink wrapped. They are not ready to come out of the shell yet but they were unable to get their beaks through the membrane. They both pipped externally without internally pipping. I didn't even know that could happen. I chipped away...
