[BFAL]

i candled my button quail egg and found some hairline cracks is it okay to cover it with scented candle wax?(it cracked yesterday i just covered it its has been incubated for 13 days when it cracked

VERY carefully drip a little plain white candle Wax on the cracks. If there are several, do one then wait till the wax has cooled then do another. You dont want to cook the kiddo.

I'm not sure about scented, but you can use crayon wax as well. Best of luck!

I'm sure it will be fine, I don't see why not, but I am no expert in this area, so I'll tag some more experienced members. @MGG @shawluvsbirds @FoodFreedomNow what do you think?

Probably not for the best, you can grab a plain tea candle at the dollar store for probably .25c. But of it's really all you can find, avoid pine and cedar type scents at least. basically pick the least scented candle you have

Can you post a handling pic so we can see how severe the cracks are?
I really despise candle wax.
Nail polish is the best from my experience for cracked eggs. I've experimented many times, and the only patched eggs that ever hatched were patched with nail polish. Natural nail polish is preferable. I used the piggy paint brand.

Here's a pic. Use a really thin coat.
