I put this in emergencies too...but i dropped the lid of my bator when i was candling and it hit one of my eggs. Im on day 20 of incubation. It is not a crack. It is a definite dent. The membrane does not seem to have broken and nothing is bleeding. Can I fix it?

Help me please.

I feel so horrible right now!

Candle wax...bandaid...tape...anything?
 
someone in the emergencies said candle wax...i hope that works...

When i put the wax in, it kind of seeped into the underside of the shell where the dent was. I think i got all the cracks covered. Heres my fix job...

all i have are bithday candles...hence the blue.

But the baby inside is still moving. If it makes it to tomorrow am I in the clear?

Will the wax melt in the bator?

Will it cause problems hatching?

Thanks.
 
I've lived in Texas and Florida and although it would sometimes get hotter than the inside of our incubators, it never got hot enough to melt a birthday candle in my kitchen drawer, even without AC.

I hope your baby does ok.
 
Well i just candled the egg to see if i could see movement. There is not a lot but there is small flutterings. Which i guess is good. The blood veins all still seem intact. I guess if it was going to die from trauma it would have died over night. Now all i have to worry about is humidity and bacteria...I see why most teachers do chickens...4 weeks is SOOO long to wait.
