Quail Egg Crack?

[TheSmallestEgg]

Hello everyone! I’m trying my hand at incubating some quail eggs as my next project. We purchased two pairs of coturnix quails at an auction and there was an egg inside when we opened it. Shortly after, another hen laid an egg! But, when I took it out to look, it had a small crack in it. There is no leakage but I am curious if I should patch the crack like I would with a chicken egg, or throw it away?

All advice is welcome!
Thanks!

Did the protective inside layer take damage

Hello!

How could I find out? Like I said, there had been no liquid leakage.

Thank you! Should I use some wax?

Take a tiny piece of tissue and paint glue over it
