Help! cracked egg

[spear41670]

Can this egg be incubated. As you can see there’s a minor crack

Could you clarify if this is an undeveloped or developed egg?

If it were mine, and it was undeveloped, I'd probably toss it. While you may be able to get away with incubating it. Bacteria are microscopic and what might look like a tiny crack to us is a huge opening for them to flush into. The yolk is an extremely good growing material for bacteria, so any little bacteria that gets in the incubator may get inside the egg and turn it to rot. If you don't realize the egg is rotten quick enough it may explode when it's being turned, and even if it doesn't the bacteria may start flushing around the other eggs.

The thread starter asked if it could be incubated. I take it that they haven’t started them yet.
