How does Shrink Wrapping occur in Chicken Eggs? Need answer ASAP!!!!!!

Is it too high or too low temperature or humidity or something else?

It's when the internal membrane shrinks down on the hatching chick. Usually only happens when you open the incubator and a large air exchange happens. I think it can also happen if humidity is too low but that is usually the chick sticks to the shell. Don't open the incubator during hatching and that greatly reduces the risk of problems. Good luck.

These might help describe what you are seeing and help you correct it, just in case it is something else. I've shrink-wrapped a chick before by opening the incubator during hatch and letting the high humidity out.
