Humidity dropped

[Chicka_dee17]

Hello so I have some silkie eggs. Everything has been great, I did dry incubating and I'm in lockdown beginning of day 20 right now! But at 3am the humidity was at 72% and with 3 eggs with crack in shells( external pip hole) so I went to bed and woke up super late 5 hours later and the humidity was at 39% noticed within those 5 hours another egg has a crack in it ( external pip hole)

-My question is, Do I need to be concerned about shrink wrapped chicks because of the humidity dropping so low in 5 hours.

- as soon as I noticed it raised the humidity back up to 65% and I still hear peeping which is good. Just wondering if shrink wrapped chicks is going to be a factor now?

Shrink wrapping is caused when you open the lid and a sudden drop in humidity takes place. A gradual drop should not cause shrink wrapping.

They should be fine. Good luck!
