HELP cracked fertile egg

[cmom]

Sometimes when I have had a cracked egg I have put tape over a crack and I have used liquid band-aide over the crack.

I feel your pain. I'm on the way down to find out if the egg they just broke is a fertile egg or a non fertile egg... I have a camera in my coop so I can spy on them. There was an egg on the floor and backed up the video until I could see how it got there. Fingers crossed for your remaining 7 eggs. What breed are they?

I’m so sorry .....
Just for future reference, I’ve never used candle wax for cracked eggs, but i have used liquid band-aid with success. Good luck with the rest of your hatch!

Well, I have Wyandottes ( 2 silver and 2 yellow laced ), 2 red Rhode Island’s and I have a rooster that is a mix breed. His father was an Old English game and his mother is an ayam cemani. ( I’ll include a picture of him ) my rooster mated with all of my 6 hens but I gathered up 12 eggs all together to put under one of my yellow laced Wyandotte since she was going broody. ( most of the other eggs i didn’t know were fertile so I cracked them while trying to cook some eggs ) out of the 7 1 hatched today !! So there’s 6 more to hatch. Here’s the picture of the chick after his father one of the 6 hens are the chicks mother but I’m not sure which one so for now my yellow laced will be her mother. P.S I’ve hatched eggs before but this is a first that I’ve saw one of the chicks this small !! The chick doesn’t even look like a chick, she/he looks more like a baby bird lol

I wonder what that little guy will look like when he grows up. He looks like the cemani chicks I hatched last year! And the rooster is stunning!

LAST AND FINAL UPDATE*
I’ve been checking on The egg under my hen every 1-2 hours and unfortunately the egg is destroyed/crushed. I think the cause of this was the weight of the hen. I had to wipe all the eggs, including mama. I’m very devastated and now there will be 7 hatching chicks. [ there used to be 12, one was a yolker, others were eaten by other chickens and now one is crushed ] r.i.p

Awww! So sorry for your loss!!!! I imagine the hen's weight was too much for that significant amount of damage.
