HELP !! I cracked a egg ( only 3 days to hatch )

[kbmead]

Superglue works! I have used it on cracked eggs a few days before they were ready to hatch, and the chicks came out fine. One had an underdeveloped eye, but she is fine and our favorite, tamest hen. I just put it gently over the cracks, and held it until the glue dried, then put back under the hen.

Good luck!

I dropped one when I was taking it out of the carton for the 3 day wait. I dropped it on top of another and it cracked. Membrane was intact though. I just put it in and hoped for the best. It hatched the next day. She is fine but has developed very slowly. Other than that she is fine. I named her midget. She does everything just like a normal chick except grow. She has graduated and is outside now. Still fine. Don't worry, it will probably be fine.

I took out a rotten egg last week and it slipped out of my hands and right into the tub we keep our shoes in.

That was just nasty. I had to clean it all up but is stank so bad. I have to remember to be more careful if I get any more.

I dropped an egg and it cracked 3 days before it was to hatch. Mine started to bleed. I put some flour on it. Only thing I could think of to stop the blood flow. Not much. But I was worried about it. I dropped it while taking it out of the turner.

It hatched out just fine. Dont give up on it.

ETA: that my bird is 8 weeks old and doing fine.

Use candle wax from an unscented candle... pour it over the crack... it has worked for me very recently
