I'm hatching quail eggs for the first time and yesterday I foolishly decided to take an egg out to examine a little and then I dropped it.
It held together ok but was seriously cracked all over the side it fell on. It was day 6 for that egg and I wasn't sure what to do so I put it back in the incubator till I decided. This morning I went to work covering the cracks in pink nail polish to seal it and to help mark which one had the crack. Here's a photo of it:
It might be hard to see but anything that looks like a crack in the photo probably is!
So I throw myself on the mercy of your expertise friends! Should I pull this egg or give it a go? I'll be happy enough if none of them hatch but if they're all half deformed, sickly little things and I have no one else to blame but myself that might be too much for my heart to handle!
