When a chick is trying to hatch without the proper humidity, the inner membrane will dry out ,shrink and stick to baby and he will die, like putting a chick in a ziplock bag and sucking all the air out. Not fun.

Dont make us wait tooooo long for pictures! I am very excited to see him!!!!

I hope the little chick makes it.
This posting makes me not want to buy eggs that must be shipped.

that is not 'shrink wrapped' , its when the membrane comes off the hard shell and attaches it self to the chick, low humidity is not the cause, generally shipped eggs or rough handling is the cause

Mine hatched also, On day 19! its a premie, Im worried because he wont stand or lift its head (lifted its dead 4 times real quick) and its yolk sac was absorbed when it hatched. Im just carefully watching it with my fingers crossed.

no, you just pick up the wrong info. with all the opinions that are flying around, someone gets it wrong and passes it on to the next, who passes it on ect... not realizing it, its when you get the right info and know it, then still pass on the wrong, that it bad. you are very smart,
