Is this shape of egg okay to put in incubator?

[Coleman7]

One of my hens is laying eggs like this everyday. Only one I have to do this. Is it okay to put in the incubator?

I hatched an egg shaped like that years ago and the chick came out with some foot and leg issues. It may or may not have been related to the egg shape, but personally I'd suggest only incubate well shaped and sized eggs.

Thank you!

Normal shaped eggs usually have a better hatch rate. Though my curious mind would find it difficult to not try to hatch it just to see what would happen.

From what I've read here from some of the more experienced members is that rounder eggs are better. I think those members would eat that egg. I prefer them dippy

Have hatched many 'long eggs' with success, tho they can be 'side pippers'.
Tho not quite that long, looks like it was malformed in the shell gland.

Though my curious mind would find it difficult to not try to hatch it just to see what would happen.

She has before. I put two in the incubator. Fingers crossed one hatches.
