Hatch-Along - Eggs set in November, due December, anyone?

If it is small I think I would leave it alone or what about making rice glue? I think I would leave the salt out when making the glue, basically it is over cooked rice mushed till smooth and spread that over it, it is really a good glue so I would be careful not to go too far out from the crack, you still want the baby to be able to get out of the shell

3D thankyou for the pictures...
and I think the reason for sealing a crack is to prevent bacteria from getting in and to prevent it from drying out. Bacteria won't enter now hopefully but drying may still be an issue... and washable glue, it would wash away in high humidity I guess. Do something about it

So... should I leave it or fix it? I can barely see it until I candle it...

Thank you!

3D if you can barely see it I would leave it alone. but if you notice it getting bigger as the chick grows then I would put the rice glue on it.

Ok, today is day 5 in the incubator, I want to candle so bad, but I have brown eggs not the dark ones but I don't think I would see too much, what do you think? Wait or candle

3D I would have sealed it to be on the safe side.
kats I candled on day 5, candle only one, if you see something then maybe candle more, I candled only 2-3 on day 5, then did the whole lot on day 7.
