That was my other thought, I didn't know if the wax would stay on in the incubator. I do have medical tape though, I might try the wax thing first since a lot of people tend to go with that. But if that doesn't work then i'll go with the medical tape. Thank you for the advice~I have a broody duck on eggs (first one hatched overnight, yeah!) but last week when she was off the eggs in the evening, I decided to candle them. I accidentally dropped one egg on another. Made a little dent/crack in the one that was on the bottom. Of course, it looked great at the time. I ran inside and grabbed a piece of paper-ish medical tape and stuck it on the egg. The last time she was off the eggs, 2 days ago, I checked and the taped one was still doing fine. I've hatched them in the incubator with the paper tape before. The only time I tried wax, I must have used the wrong kind because it just kinda sloughed off in the heat.
