Help... egg has a crack

[Kitkatk8]

Help....an egg has a crack - there is a line and then a little hole/circles of cracks like a bullet hole almost looking (sorry idk how else to describe)- is this it hatching or something else? They haven’t been dropped or anything and Tina is sitting religiously on them...

It doesn’t look ready to hatch, if it was you’d see the chick in the air cell. You can fill in the crack with wax(candle or crayon) or clear nail polish. How old is the egg? It sounds like you are using a broody to hatch, she may have stepped on it or something on accident.

Thank you! I sealed it with wax. Not sure of age - they’re adopted eggs - she started sitting on them June 16 and they could have been one or 5 days old then I am not sure as the person I got them from didn’t know
