cracked baby

[kbrun]

I just set my eggs yesterday morning. This morning I noticed that one of them is cracked. It has a small crack on the side similar to a pip. Should I leave it in or should I discard it? Will a cracked egg hatch?

maybe put unscented candle wax on it...............

There is a chance it could hatch if the membrane is still intact, but that egg will very likely be contaminated by some bacteria......I personally would get rid of it, BUT you could try and put some new skin or something over the crack and see what happens.......

Will the cracked egg contaminate the remaining eggs?
