OMG..I accidentally broke egg preparing for lockdown...HELP!

[pinkchick]

I accidentally hit the corner of the table that the 'bator is on removing eggs from the turner so I could lock down. Made a hole the size of a pencil eraser in the shell. Membrane is intact but looks dry..................is there any thing I can do, I don't want it to dry out.
I really want this particular egg to hatch out.

Happened about 5 minutes ago. Argh these fumble fingers of mine!

If photos are needed please let me know! Thanks!

Well, Photos may help, but If you take it out of the humidity in the incubator it may dry out even more... I really dont know, but BUMP!!

I say get your finger tip wet, moisten the membrane, and then put a little bit of cling wrap over it. Can't hurt to try!

 

[pinkchick]

It is in the bator where it will stay in hopes of a good hatch. Just wonder if there is anything else I should do. Thanks!

maybe moisten it slightly and put a piece of scotch tape over it and pray?

I agree, small piece of scotch tape will seal it up... others have used melted candle wax also

 

[pinkchick]

Thanks, will try the scotch tape!

I have seen eggs hatch after wax has been applied... try wax.. It does work a good percentage of the time.

If you can't do wax, try vaseline!

I hope it makes it anyway!

No not vaseline... It is a petrolium product.. Not a good choice at all...The fumes can harm the others... Flammable also
