AAAAAAHHHHHHHI dropped a Partridge Silkie egg!!!

I am SO peeved at myself for having such butterfingers! I am on day 11 with a batch of mixed Silkies and I dropped one while candling! I have never done that and I am SO SO SO bummed! I only had 3 Partridge left of this batch, and I was so anxious to get some. Now I can only hope for a pair.
Dang Dang Dang!!!

Awe that sucks! Everytime I'm candling I have this fear of dropping one!! Sorry this happened!!

Did it break or crack? I sealed a cracked one with candle wax...its on day 10, but its too dark to see if its developing. That really sucks though.

No chance of repair, it was oozing yolk out the side when I picked it up off the floor. I SO wanted Partridge to breed. I still have 2 but watch them be 2 cockerels. I have a few Buffs. I mainly hatch Silkies for my 9-year old daughter so she can show them in 4-H, but I think they the fun to watch and have around. Plus, I hope I can make some of them my broody machines next year so I can hatch naturally as well as in the bator, then I won't drop them any more!
