Cracked Egg Day 17

[ObsessedwithChicken]

I accidentally cracked my large olive egg on day 17, I have put vaseline on the crack and gone into lockdown a half a day early. I didn’t put the candle wax on since it is about to hatch in a few days. What do you guys think?

It has every chance of hatching @ObsessedwithChicken
Good luck

I'm guessing the crack isn't serious, so I'd say good luck!

Can you show us a photo?

It’s hard to see the cracks with the vaseline on it, it also has a crack on the side.

UPDATE: A beautiful olive egger chick hatched successfully. The opposite end of the air cell was pretty badly cracked and also down the side. So happy with the outcome.

After day 10 with repair an egg can hatch as long as it is the air cell end.
I would not ever set an egg with a crack though on day 0.

This exact thing just happened to me, its a light crack near the air cell. Should I tape it or leave it alone?
