Oh another note, my long-awaited Lights are hatching. We have three out and dry and two assisted hatches ( drying off) due to a humidity problem in the incubator. One dead in the shell at pip ,and 6 more eggs waiting to do something.
Best,
Karen

One more out. It was shrink-wrapped. I assisted it out. Gave it Nutri-Drench. A strong chick, just couldn't get out. It's drying in the incubator now. Actually, the egg felt light. I was going to toss it and then noticed the pip. Thought it might be dead in the shell, but when I chipped a piece of the shell away, there was that vigorous beak trying to get out . So I helped it out one chip of the shell at a time.
