do not open the incubator when the chick pips or it will be shrink wrapped. just let it be.

Thank you this is my first time hatching any advice is very much appreciated!!

I usually open and flip back egg over. Eggs aren't instantly shrink wrapped by opening incubator quickly.. whether it is to remove hatchlings, or to help eggs that need assistance. Add a warm wet sponge if you're worried about humidity loss.

i may not be the best at hatching or the most experienced, but i know not too mess with 'em too much i didn't know that you could open the incubator if you were fast. first hatches are all ways full of anxiety (at least they were for me!) be sure to post some pics!

Do duck eggs also get shrink-wrapped?

 

[quailmama 82012]

not sure but maybe. dont know alot about ducks but the egg membrane must be similar
not sure if its called membrane or not the skin stuff is what i mean.

Alright. I will be careful!

We decided to turn it over and the chick started peeping a bit after humidity only dropped to 45% it is was back up to 65 within about 2 minutes
