Well I put them both in a "nursery" but she totally abandoned the other eggs even the other pipped eggs, I was out all day so I found them cold at 4:00pm and I thought they were dead so I opened the top of the pipped egg and was breathing hot air on it and tapping on its chest and it opened its beak so I grabbed all the eggs and made a little incubator-thing to keep them warm it peeped for the first time at 7:15pm and has been breathing I've been wetting the membrane.

Should I float test the other eggs?

One has a spiderweb crack but I don't know if it's a pop or not
