Cracked duck egg???

[only4cake]

okay so i have a pekin duck egg that appears to be growing but it have a crack in it but the crack didn't peirce the membrane of the egg. Will the egg still hatch?

Only time will tell. I had a mallard egg that had a small puncture in it that didn't break the membrane. I stuck some tape over the hole and put it in the incubator, along with the rest. It developed to about 75%, then the duckling died.

On the other hand, I've had cracked chicken eggs make it all the way. So you've got nothing to lose by trying.
