Hi, I got my last shipment of eggs today. When I unwrapped them, one of the Showgirl Silkies had a dent in it, not a truce crack, more of a dent. It looks as if something poked into the egg from outside, the membrane isn't broken though. Is there anything I can do to save it?
 
I had the same thing happen when I got some RIR's from sunshinesilkies and I used clear nail polish. Out of the 4 that were badly dented, 3 hatched!
 
I have covered damaged eggs with wax before, 1 arrived to me cracked with the membrane intact, it developed but never hatched, another I cracked half way through incubating and got a healthy baby from it, so the wax is definately worth a try! Good Luck
