Cracked Egg During Shipping

[Dom G]

Hey all, today I received my quail eggs in the mail. Packaged poorly, and handled with no care. No surprise there. Anyway..2 out of 6 eggs have cracks but are NOT leaking. Should I still incubate?

I've heard of people repairing cracks, but not sure how. It might be worth a try, but I'd be ready to pull them at any time.

I surely would not order from the supplier again, and I'd let them know what happened.

If it's a friend, well, I'd just let them know and give them some tips on how to package them better if they're going to ship eggs again.

Rule of thumb with cracked eggs. If it cracks after day 10 (with a repair it may still hatch.
Also, if the crack in the day 10 egg is only in the aircell.
