Huge Accident with incubator and eggs!!!!!

[WVchick71]

Ok So i was taking off the top of my incubator to turn the eggs today and I hit and knowkced it off almost hitting the floor BUT I caught it. Water went everywhere, Eggs went everywhere. 1 Broke completely ..went all over the floor. 1 cracked all the way around. (I disposed of these 2) Then there was one with just a little place the size of a pencil eraser that pushed in. Should i just dispose...or try to see if it will make it? Also....now my bator smells funky when I open to turn.

I have read here that using melted unscented candle wax will work for cracks...............
Maybe want to try it.
Good Luck....

yeah candle waxs should work but i would clean your incubator if it smells funny cuase the bacteria could kill your other eggs

How old are the eggs? If theres not long to go wax should be fine

I still have a week and a half on the hatch. I cleaned the bator prior to putting the eggs in ....Im wondering if its the egg that smells bad?!

Have you candled to see if its still alive? I've had cracked ones that I've tried to fix and gone bad but its taken about a week. The easiest way to find out is to just sniff it you'll know if its bad

The last one I had smoked when I cracked it luckily it was sealed in a bag.
Hope it makes it to hatch for you
