Thank you Egg Snatcher

I don't know if you can, but fiddle with the settings on the upper right hand side. If you can't just ask a moderator, I'm sure they will change it for you if you explain why.
....If you want to that is...it was only a suggestion because a lot of people find BYC after doing a google search for a particular subject.

I tried, I can't find any way to change it. It's a good idea to change it though. Any suggestions on what I should request it to be changed to?

I tried to keep everything sterile. It's hard though. I'll leave this to the lab experts.
I have a newfound respect for the incredible design and purpose of egg shells.

Don't beat yourself up about this. It is impossible to keep things sterile in a home situation for any amount of time.

I’d make sure the membrane is moist and just keep an eye on it. Do you have any pics of it? And what day are they on?

You need a PFM to change it. It’s a feature PFM members get... Ask a moderator to change it. I’m sure they won’t mind.

It is. Should I put more ointment on the membrane? It's day 18 for her.

I would... I wouldn’t cake it on just a little. A little goes a long way with the ointment.

So I should give it some? Can I give it on a q-tip? I definitely can't fit the dropper in there.

Personally I'd be hesitant to because in a typical egg the embryo is not mature yet. Think about it...close to hatch they absorb the yolk and that sustains them for several days. An attempt at introducing a nutritional component before the intestines (or body) can process it may add to the stress.
That's just my gut reaction.

Give it some time. You don't need to think about this right now.

It is evolution.
What fails in nature no longer exists.
What succeeds in nature prospers and continues to evolve and improve.
If an organism evolves adaptable to the environment, it may prosper if no environmental changes occur. Otherwise, they are now extinct. While only 2 million organisms have been named and described, 10-30 million more exist that haven't been discovered.

How do I change the title? I don't know of anyone unfortunately.
