Cracked egg in incubator .. help!!

[melissabc]

So I was candling my eggs and noticed one of them has a small crack !! It seems to be developing well I can see it moving around in there but I'm worried about it. I'm not sure what to do here?? Should I just take the egg out? Is it going to die anyways because of the crack or will it be okay? The crack is very small I'm not sure when it got there..

What day of incubation are you on?

 

[melissabc]

I am on day 12

Okay, still a ways away from hatching. You can patch it with a piece of scotch tape or a little bit of wax.

Ok thank you ! What kind of wax??

Here is a pic of the egg. I have circled the crack. It's a little hard to see.

Get a little melted candle wax to cover the crack and you should be fine.

A couple of coats of nailpolish will work well too. I paint the crack in the egg, and put it back in the bator until the polish dries, then repeat 4 or 5 times.
