October Hatch-A-Long?

You don’t need to separate them. The above chick was in a brooder with Pekins.

Is there any way I could tell their sex at one day or these breeds are not sexable?
Dutch bantam and Araucanas and French copper marans

You can vent sex them, but the easiest way is day three. I don’t know Dutch Bantam, but it’s likely relatively reliable. Girls feather out faster. They will have cute little feathers coming in on their wings.

I’m scare of vent sexing. I watched videos and research a lot. I guess the lab worker on me. Any way I am scared I’ll hurt them

Why are my chicks shrink wrapped? Humidity at lockdown was right, temp is write, two hatched fine a third zipped and stayed for over 36 hours went to pull it out and realized she was stuck and alive. Did what I could to safely release her, I hope she is ok in the morning. Have another egg that was half way through cutting her shell I'm pretty sure she didn't make it. Still waiting on the rest to hatch. Fingers crossed it will work out.

Oh sorry about your problem. I hope all the others make it ok

Apparently it wasn’t right (not said with attitude!)
To calibrate your hygrometer:

• Mix 1/2 cup of salt and 1/4 cup of water in a coffee cup or other small container. It will be a thick mixture.

• Put your thermometer/hygrometer into a large zip-close plastic bag with the container of salt mixture and close the bag completely.

• Leave the bag undisturbed at room temperature overnight. Be careful not to let the water touch the hygrometer.

• The next morning, if the the relative humidity in the bag measures 75%, your hygrometer is properly calibrated. Be sure to read the measurement while the hygrometer is still inside the bag. Removing the hygrometer from the bag before you take your reading will cause the measurement to change.
  
  If the humidity is higher or lower than 75%, be sure to make note of the difference, so that you can add or subtract the difference during incubation. For example, if the hygrometer reads the humidity in the bag as 71%, then be sure to add 4% to your readings during incubation.(75% - 71% = 4% reading deviation)

Also, different eggs need different humidity. An average at lockdown is 65%
