Egg with hole in it. Can it still be incubated, if filled with wax?

[dizzychicken]

I have read on this forum that wax will hold a crack, but what about a hole the size of a pin head. I don't know if one of the hens pecked it or what, but I am not getting that many Welsummer eggs and want to incubate all I can. Thanks for any advice.

Love Wins,

It's worth a shot, but it's a place bacteria can enter.

Try it and candle at day 10.

Seems so me you could try, if it hasn't punctured the membrane.

I have one that I am currently incubating that I did in fact fill with wax, crayon. It is on day 14 and seems to be doing ok.

Also a Wellie.

Dude! A crayon! What color did you use? That is awesome! For some reason I didn't even think of using my kids crayons! I searched the whole house looking for a stupid white candle!

I used yellow!
