Is this egg cracked?

[Caseyjane14]

Day 4 in incubator. I checked one egg and saw this. Decided to check rest on day 7.

Does this egg look cracked/ have any chance of life?

Thank you. First timer and anxiety is high!

May not be a crack kind of looks from pic to be something with imperfection in eggshell when laid. Not sure but I would mark egg so you can keep a close eye on it and continue. If development seems ok from candling and no leaking, you should be fine.

It doesn't looked cracked, more likely an egg imperfection. I know it's hard, but try to leave the eggs be as much as possible. You'd be amazed how much that helps. I usually candle day 7 to check viability and day 14 to check progress. One tip is to mark the air sack with a pencil when candling. If it's too small, or large at day 14, you can adjust the humidity to get the air sac to a proper size before lockdown. Happy hatching. Let us know how it turns out.

I hatched one egg that had a worse spider-looking crack. Don't worry about it.

Thank you. Monday will be day 7 and I will check viability. I may be back here with more questions to see if my eggs made it or not! Thanks for the tips.
