[americana-chick]

could the crack hurt the chick in the long run? should i moniter the egg everyday to make sure it isnt about to explode??

 

[redhen]

i am wondering if the crack might hurt or damage the growth of the chick.

I used regular non smelly wax to seal mine and it grew for a long time but never did make it. Although it did pip. I know of people who did hatch them out and they did fine. If they are growing and moving it will not explode. Candle it every week to make sure you see movement. If you don't see any movement then I would throw it out just to be safe.
