No, it's not shrink wrapped. If you put coconut oil on the membrane you'll be able to see if there's still veins.

I'd put it back in the incubator. As long as the humidity is fine, there's still a chance. Keep us updated.

Ok, I’ll update as soon as anything happens.... one of my family members didn’t turn on the egg turner until day 6, so we believe this chick is mis- positioned. Still breathing

I don’t have any coconut oil on hand are there any alternatives?

Ok. Ohhh. That's bad. The first week is critical in turning.

Do you have any other oils? Triple antibiotic ointment will work too.

I am trying to hunt for alternatives. I would imagine any neutral oil, like canola or vegetable could be lightly applied to the membrane.

We had 10 hatch, though!

When did the first ten hatch? This one may be too weak to survive if it’s a couple of days behind. It may not have hatched if left alone.

That's pretty good. This one is probably just weak, like Bobbi J said. Even if you assist it perfectly it may still not make it.
