Shrink wrapped chick What else can I do? HELP

[Eliselove]

Sorry, I don't have a pic. They are out now. Both had bad beak placement and were rather large. Due to the beak being at the small end of the egg when they started tapping it cracked the shell open and the chips fell off but because there was no space between the membrane and shell, the membrane didn't tear. By the time I got up this morning and discovered it they were all dried out with the membrane actually STUCK stuck, not just wrapped around them. I opened the membrane a tiny bit near the beak and then chipped the shell away from the air cell area. I moistened it and put them back in the bator. A few hours later all their blood was drawn in and the yolk absorbed. They were REALLY stuck in those shells LOL. The feet and head were so packed into the little end they couldn't get out. I slowly chipped more shell away, then waited to see if they could push out on their own yet. I did this until it was enough for them to get out and they are fluffing up now. I hope like hell I never have this happen again! It took FOREVER to chip the shell away enough for them to get out. Both chicks are the same breed from the same parents so I think it was a genetic thing with them being too big for the shells. All the other chicks are hatching fine. I hope my description clears up what happened a little bit. It was weird and from what I gather rare but sometimes a big chick with bad placement CAN pip the shell without breaking the membrane. I hope that this at least lets people know it can happen and what I did to get the chicks out LOL. Thanks for the info about the wet towel BTW. I had a couple people suggest it to me so I didn't know that I shouldn't do it. Coconut oil worked better anyway. It didn't dry back out while I was working LOL. I will post pics of my little weirdos once they fluff up. They are Ayam Cemani chicks and super cute!

I am having this problem also. It has been super nerve-wracking having to help some of them out.- the reading I did led me to think that if the temp is too low, development time frames and stages are altered slightly such that the chick can get too big for the egg, and be positioned wrong in the egg when it comes hatch time. I had several pip outside the air pocket and get trapped in the egg. Additionally if it is too humid the air pocket doesn't get big enough. I had one drown pipping into egg white... so sad. I had temp too low and humidity too high days 1-16.
