cracked egg, can it be repaired?

[Wulfandwyn]

I have a bantam egg that rolled out of the turner. Is there any chance of repairing it? There seems to not be any leakage.

No, I would just throw it away

You can fill the cracks with wax but thats alot of damage. If you dont already have a chick at over a weeks growth I would be inclined to chuck it , If you have a baby in there at 7 days or under whatever caused the damage likely killed the chick , if its further along you may be able to save it I have hatched cracked eggs befor.

Thanks. The egg has been in the bator just under a week. I had heard of filling with wax but wasn't sure if it was too broken.

Did you try candleing it. If the baby is still moveing you can try wax I just know I have had luck with eggs further along but the few I have tried to fix early always died. they were quail eggs though and much smaller maybe this guy being bigger will help ?
