Hello everyone! Something terrible just happened- one of my broody chicken's eggs exploded :( I was a little suspicious about it, when I candled that one it seemed a bit behind the others and it had a slight crack in it that I taped over. The bad thing is that I think the explosion cracked another otherwise good egg! I've taped over it, but now I'm nervous it will stop developing and explode too! What do you guys think I should do?
The good news is that there are 2 well developed eggs left! (They are on day 14) :D

I just candled the one pictured and there was NO movement at all. The air cell is also completely to the side of the egg instead of mostly at the bottom. I made the call to toss it, I don't want the 2 healthy eggs or my hen to be exposed to any more potential problems/bad bacteria. Should the fact that the 2 healthy ones were sitting in the rotten egg juice (or whatever you might call it) for a while will be a problem?
 
How did the hatch go? Did the other two hatch ok?
Hey there! Unfortunately the others did not hatch, they progressed to the point where they actually had a body and feathers then went rotten :( I’m not sure what went wrong. I ended up buying some chicks from TSC to make myself feel better, those chicks are doing great! :)
