I have one and they still make incubators but not that kind any more . A few years back I talked to owner of the company about my brooders . Cant get elements for them anymore and they were in Kansas when they made those years ago . They are more into the large scale production of hatching and brooding equipment now . We spent more time talking about the trade shows the industry has how and that he traveled through Nashville going to those a lot .Can you imagine hatching several thousand chicks at once

If people really use their logic to think about what shrink wrapping is, they'd see that opening the bator, especially for mere seconds, is not the cause. Shrink wrapping occurs when the entire membrane dries all the way through causing it to shrink, not unlike leather. It's not something that occurs from seconds or even a couple minutes of fresh air blowing across the egg. Shrink wrapping, true shrink wrapping happens over time. And as the membrane shrinks it literally pulls the chicken down into the bottom of the egg into an even smaller ball. Now, I fully believe that you can dry out the membrane around the pip hole making it adhere to the chick and possibly causing some restriction of movement, however, unless you are blind to the eggs and can't see the drying membranes, should not be life threatening.

I think "shrink wrap" is often used to describe the drying out at the pip site instead of the true definition. I have had that (the drying out) happen on hatches I "fanned the lid" on over 10x per day & had humidity near 60%, so I've found restricting how many times I open helps get me easier hatches. But that's just what works for me. :D

ETA: Kathy, I remember you talking about this. Hmm, I don't think I'm gonna worry about power outs so much now...

That's the problem, they cry shrink wrap when it's not.
