I don't know if the wax killed the eggs I put it on, or if it was just coincidental but I just alway had a bad feeling about putting it on.

Well, the nail polish always worked for me, and I have the same incubator she does. I just never liked melted wax, it always gets all thick and globby because it drips off so fast, and all the eggs I ever put it on died.

I only just started hatching last year with my incubator. I had to use it on one of my chicken eggs because my favorite hen got killed and I wanted to have her baby, but her last egg was dented. I patched it and it hatched. She is now a perfect little hen and just started laying. I also used it...

I hope it works for you! It worked for me. Looks good. Was it alive when you candled it?

Yeah. If you're worried about zipping I would.

I would try to. I used a natural nail polish called piggy paint. The more natural the better.

Here are my patched bobwhite eggs

I used nail polish. I highly recommend it. I did a thin coat and it held together and baby can zip right through
