Day 7 issue help

[Kmaria187]

Yekies!!! I just candled one of my eggs day 7 and it has cracked while turning but I see no leaks the membrane is intact and I see veins and a mass inside do I just let it keep on going or will there be issues ??

I could be wrong but if its not leaking, membrane intact, and the chick is alive and developing then I'd let it go. At the first sign of issues (leaking, etc) I'd pull it to keep the rest of the clutch from getting contaminated.

You might want to seal it with wax, super glue or nail polish just to make sure the bacteria don’t sneak in and kill the embryo.

Out of curiosity, would the ingredients of nail polish or glue bother the egg?

Yep. Take some candle wax and melt it in a little bowl, wait a minute for it to cool (not solidify) and drip in onto the crack. It'll help seal the egg and prevent bacteria from entering
