Apply liquid bandage on the crack, available at most pharmacies/drug stores.
Some people also use nail polish or wax, but I prefer the liquid bandage.

lol, I should have read all of the comments. Beat me to it!

Well been hearing power is out in our area from yesterday morning and won’t be restored till around 4 pm this afternoon. Feeling fortunate to be on solar power. Hopefully our internet comes back then though, meant be having a video interview for a job tomorrow morning! Got one bar of cellphone signal which drops in and out lol but at least my eggs and chicks are safe

That's great that you have solar! We really need to look into it too!

Can’t wait to see these chicks!

I can hear chirping from the incubator. Will be waiting a few more hours before I check. Now I wish I had the plexiglass door instead of the solid wood door.

Well, I ended up with another single-chick hatch. Definitely time to invest in a new incubator before attempting another one, I think.

This is my 2nd hatch with this incubator so I'm anxious to see if it goes as well as it did the first time! 8 out of 9 in November...I dropped the lid and it cracked so they sent me a new incubator. Exact same kind but not the exact same one I did first hatch with...so if all goes well this week I'll let ya know.
They must be pretty good otherwise they wouldn't have doubled in price in less than 6 months!!!

Are these shipped eggs or your eggs? Have you had good hatches in the past? It could be many factors, but I don't have all the information. You may need to replace it so you can tweak that one. Or it may be a great hatcher or warmer....
