Shrink wrapped??!?!?

[FeatherTay]

So this chick is going crazy in her egg! Pipped about 25-30 hours ago. She has blood around her lip so we thought she had passed. Under close inspection she was alive! I removed as much shell around so she could zip, but there is like 3 layers of membrane?! Does this mean it’s shrink wrapped? She has some lungs on her! She wants out! Can anyone help? Humidity is at 64%

This is what happened. No bleeding, but some weird gooey stuff? @Chickenwingwing

This is the same group of eggs from last night where the wet chick died, right?

I'm just waking up.

Next time...it would be better, for the people trying to help you, to keep everything about the same hatch in ONE thread.

If there isn't blood you can open the egg but know that this egg and the ones that are still in the bator are all probably going to have issues. It seems you had your humidity high throughout the whole incubation.

Humidity levels matter over time...trying to lower it on hatch day isn't going to do anything.

Appreciate the tag, but you may mean another member...I'm a newbie to chickens!

Good luck!

Hatch Day was on the 29th of April.Yes the same group of eggs. Im sorry, about the multiple threads, I’ll only do one next time. Thank you for the suggestion. We had it about 45-55% during incubation. Had 8 other chicks hatch without any problems. And yes this chick is now hatched and very healthy! Thank you, @Kiki for your suggestions. I appreciate it.

So two of my newly hatched chicks (yesterday) Won’t keep their eyes open. 1 never opens them unless forced, then she closes her eyes and then she doesn’t open them. Another one only ever so often opens them himself. They can walk around and run, but just can’t keep their eyes open...?

Can you take a clear video of these chicks and upload it to YouTube?

She actually started opening her eyes once we opened them for her. She just needed some “eye therapy” But however you might have to help on another problem.
This chick pipped over 25+ hours ago and we assisted. She came out with a really weird neck, a huge tummy, and her feet are squishy?! Is it best to cull her, or does she have a chance? View attachment 2645202View attachment 2645203View attachment 2645204

Poor thing.

Can you put a paper towel in the incubator and put this chick on top of the paper towel?

A dry paper towel.
