Membrane Stuck to Eye

[PurpleCArTires]

My incubator is failing and this poor guy was the only survivor from 12 eggs. It was severely shrunk wrapped and went almost 48 hours before I finally candled and decided to help him. I got him out and he is very lively, but has membrane dried and stuck to his eye and wing. I tried coconut oil and water and got most of but I can't get it off his eye and I don't want to injure him. Any ideas?

Aww, poor baby! I'm not really sure, keep trying the coconut oil. If you plan on doing future hatches I'd suggest getting a different incubator. What kind do you have?

It's a 12 egg kebonnix. The last 4 or 5 hatches have had humidity issues, but this is the last straw. I am going to get a new one.

I know alot of people like the NR360 but I have a Farmers Innovators 4250. It's a much bigger incubator as I do a good many hatches. It really depends how much you want to spend and how much egg space you need.

I would use saline on his eye. Good luck with your chick!
