I'd be afraid that it would rot in the incubator and ruin the others...so I'd say ditch it.

If it's already in the incubator I'd leave it and candle frequently. I hatched one with a chip over the air cell. If you aren't already incubating it I probably wouldn't try it because it is less likely to hatch and more likely to go rotten.
 
depends on how faryou are in. If you only have a few day left you can wax or tape it over. It is a 50% 50% chance. THe closer to hatch the better.if it is a fresh egg i wouldnt bother unless it is a really special egg and then keep a close eye on it.
 
One of my eggs had a little hole in it too when I started incubating. I thought I'd try and let it develop, but it ended up stinking. Although a good few of my eggs ended up that way.

If the hole didn't puncture the membrane, I don't think it would matter, honestly.

It would really dry out super fast and who knows what bacteria would get in there. A crack I can see being closed up with wax, but a hole - I don't think that will work.
 
Just toss it. It's not worth the headache of worrying if it'll explode and contaminate the other eggs and the incubator.
 
its very very little a tiny liitle bit bigger than a crack
