So about 2 days ago I put one of my EE egg in the incubator that had a crack on the shell, and right now after reading if eggs could hatch with crack I read the hatch rate would be low.

I'm so happy that it didn't kill any of my hens or chicks but I'm still wondering how it got in because there are only 3 entrances/exits...
