Hi everyone,
Here's my problem. I have a few precious bantam eggs under a broody hen. Today when I went to check under the hen, I lifted her up a little and I guess one of the eggs was caught under her wing. It fell and hit into another egg and one of the eggs now has a small cracked area, like a pockmark.
I believe the membrane is fully intact. I am concerned the egg / membrane will dry out now that the outer shell is compromised.
I had candled these eggs and there are definitely chicks in them. I feel terrible. What can I do? Is there any hope?
