cracked egg in incubator...

[novanod1966]

well, one of my 6 geese eggs got a small crack in it. put clear finger nail polish on it to seal and put it back in the incubator.

to all you goose experts out there, do you really let your eggs cool each day for about 15 minutes? then mist? never tried waterfowl before and am having "nervous twitches" about letting my hatching eggs cool down....LOL

don

I have just done this to one of my chicken eggs in the incubator, today is day 8 and I accidentally dropped it onto another egg, found a hair line crack clear nail polish and now see how she/he goes.
Good luck with yours
