Has anyone ever hatched a cracked egg?

Don't turn at the beginning?

I think that's the way I'll go. I've wanted some videos on how to do it and results too.

See above posts from me. I liked that new skin was antibacterial, but it's your call... I've got two cracked quail set right now that are patched with new skin.

Correct - to let the air cells settle. Let them sit out for about a day, then in the incubator for a couple days. It's all spelled out in the "Shipped eggs - change of plans" links at the beginning of the thread. (I read them compulsively at the time, but can no longer quote them by heart.)

Here is the shell post hatch of one that was quite badly cracked (so there was A LOT of tape).
I think it was the first. Many many since.

Thanks. It was a hard lesson. But it was the right thing, yes. :/

Well, you'd be shaking in your fur lined crocs, but I think it ain't half bad

Well, those little eggies certainly think it is, Elsa...

You have a good point - the Brinsea is super steady. And the turning process is so gentle that after a few days of no turning to try to reattach the air cells, I started the turning again on the cradle without negative effect. (Did you see there's a new one, the Ovation?)

I bought a cabinet
