Often the mortality rate of near hatch chicks is because of low humidity or high temperatures. Once the chick is fully formed inside the shell, moisture keeps it lubricated for movement within the shell case. The chick needs to move in order to complete its peeping or breaking of the shell and dry shell/low humidity is often the culprit. The first few hole made by the egg tooth allow air inside the shell but also increases the release of moisture so the humidity in the incubator should always be at least 65% or better for good hatch rates.

What should I do when my new born chick hasn't fully dried her feathers and the incubator keeps changing its temperature Should I move her out of the incubator?

This happened for some chicks I'd been hatching - also one of them was making VERY determined efforts to drown itself in the water tray (being used to increase humidity for the hatch)! So I removed the chicks to a brooder (just a cardboard box with wood shavings and a heat lamp) which I'd already run up to about 95 degF (35 degC) below the heat lamp. The important thing is to avoid cold draughts either while being transferred or when in place in the brooder. One benefit is that they'll dry off quicker in the brooder as it will be lower humidity (or should be!) than the incubator.


Can you tell by the shape of a egg if it is a rooster or a hen?

No. The size and shape of an egg does not determine the gender of the potential chick inside the egg. There is absolutely no way to determine gender until the embryo is fully formed and hatched.
