Scotch Taped Eggs, What to do??

[Runner Bean]

I have just had some hatching eggs arrive with each egg wrapped in bubble wrap. When I tried to unwrap them each egg has scotch taped holding the bubble wrap on the egg perhaps as a way to start the wrapping process more easily. Up to 25% of the surface of the egg is covered in glue. I started very slowly and carefully pulling away the tape but it either is impossible without breaking the shell ( really really adhesive )or leaves a sticky mess of glue behind.

What do you think I should do?? The glue has probably already lifted off the bloom where I pulled off the tape. I imagine the glue will seal the air pores and the chick can't "breathe" while developing yet if I wash I don't know if the glue will dissolve and cover the egg in a microscopic layer which will be much worse.

Anyone faced a similar situation??

Wow! I would be reluctant to 'mess' with the eggs any more and would start the incubation 'as is'. Call the supplier and ask WHY and how they recommend handling this situation. Good luck. This is a new one for me.
