Incubating a shell-less fertile egg

[Eggscoozme]

Has anyone HERE tried to incubate a fertile shell-less egg? I thought about giving it a try. The whole "pip & zip" wouldn't happen, exactly, right?

My 4yr Showgirl Silkie laid it, and all her eggs have been fertile, so I thought about trying to incubate this one. Would that be cruel? Possible? Crazy?

I saw a video a while back of some students hatching an egg that they cracked into a cup - like literally cracked and opened a shelled egg into some plastic wrap in a cup and then hatched it without it's shell. I'm not sure if it survived or even if it was real, but they showed multiple stages of growth and a live chick "hatching" from the egg/cup and then walking around like it was perfectly healthy. I have no idea how they did it, but I was assuming it wasn't that technical since it seemed like they did it in a high school classroom. I'll see if I can find it again and link it here.

I feel like it would need a ridiculously high humidity to stop it from losing too much fluid before it could hatch. If it could hatch. It might accidentally tear the membrane without the shell. It would be interesting to see what happens if you try it.

Yes, I did see that. Would really like to know about humidity, and temp of incubator. HOW did it get "out of its' shell?" That is a cool video. Thank you for posting. Im sure somebody hasnt seen it.

That Japanese video has been debunked many times. I have no idea if incubating the egg would be worth it, I'm just saying that that video is fake

I saved an egg with no shell because it was transparent and wanted to see how long it would stay fresh... in a very short period of time it shriveled up, like a raisin. less than a week.

In an incubator?

I never put it in an incubator, I had it saved on a table in an egg carton. It does not retain moisture... the air pocket inside the egg either wasn't there or disappeared very soon. I suppose you could incubate it in very high humidity but the air pocket won't last
