Oh no - I dropped one of my eggs when I removed the cradle on day 18...

It looks like the membrane didn't break - but will the little chick survive or did I kill it?? Take a look:

No one can answer that for you---we do not know the damage that was done internally. I have heard of all kinds of things people have done---tape, moist paper towel surah wrap, etc over the cracked end only. You can try and keep your fingers crossed.

Oh dear, hope everything goes well! I think it will be ok if the membrane hasn't ripped! But the drop probably really shook the chick, it may be brain damaged ! So keep an eye on the chick if it does hatch! xx sorry
