Shrink Wrapped Chicks

No, does it take a while?

About 4-6 hours depending on the hygrometer.

Take a bottle cap, fill with salt(Regular Table Salt), wetten the salt, place wet salt into an airtight container, or bag with the hygrometer, & wait for it to reach 75%?

I don't know if I could open it right now, it's basically a styrofoam incubator with a heat lamp and a small fan.

From what I’ve heard I think it’s the hygrometer not the actual humidity.

I'll try that.

Thank you so much for your help

That's relieving, thank you so much

If you've filled your water in the incubator the humidity should be good! If, for any reason, I have to open the incubator while chicks may be pipping, I like to throw in a warm, damp paper towel - it adds humidity very effectively! White membrane sounds good. Best of luck!

Hello, the membrane of the chick that pipped has become yellow.
I managed to snap a quick photo of it:

Sorry about the quality, I tried to take it really quickly.

Is this chick shrink wrapped?

Hi!

I posted a picture of an egg that has a yellow-ish membrane.

Is it shrink wrapped?

Thank you!

Nope! Still looks good, the membrane gets more yellow as it dries up but right now it looks like it’s a pretty normal color.
