Pipped egg accidentally hit with water

[Jhalm]

Hello! So I’m a first time Hatcher and have three ducklings and one (adorable) gosling, he’s the favorite lol.

I have a newly pipped egg (just from this morning) which I got a little bit of water on when I was upping the humidity through the sponge hole (something i learned from this site) during lockdown. Is this going to be an issue?

also the membrane looks a little yellowish but my drake looked that way too and hatched just fine. His sister, however, needed assistance, she is now a very happy, healthy and energetic, week old duckling. She was extremely shrink-wrapped and I only helped her after 48 hours which I know it a long time but I didn’t want to help her too soon. I could see her beak and knew she could breathe/ was still absorbing her yolk but can’t with this one.

PLEASE ADVISE! This site has helped me so much, thank you!

How much water did you spill on it? It should be ok.
What is your humidity at and was your hygrometer salt tested? That membrane definitely looks too dry.

Candle it...see if it's still alive.

If it's still moving, then it will probably be alright. As already stated the membrane does look a little dry, what is your %Rh?

Humidity is at 71% I have a little giant and it’s brand new but only because my last little giant was set at 102 and was saying 140 degrees and the eggs were cold. It wasn’t more than a few drops, he’s definitely still alive and absorbing yolk but I’m worried because the membrane does look extremely dry. He’s broken more of the shell and i thought he would have zipped by the time I got home today but he didn’t

It’s definitely still alive I can see him moving from his hole

Has it hatched yet? If you have some olive oil, you can put a little bit on the membrane to help it from drying out.

I use a Little Giant incubator.
Remember that you cannot trust the built-in thermometer or humidity gauge in any incubator.
Always purchase separate instruments and calibrate them.
