I have, didn't care for it.

My eggs arrived today.  They were not treated very kindly by USPS.  I have 9 intact eggs to set, 4 were scrambled and oozing.  3 significantly cracked, with dents, but intact membranes.  Given this information, would readers try waxing and setting cracked eggs, or toss them?  I attempted candling air cells, but flash light not up to the task.  So, my plan is to let them rest.  The oldest one was laid 3/17.  Should I rest them till this evening, or should I give them till morning?  A theory has been bumped around regarding shipped eggs:  Keep the humidity up for the first several days to keep as much moisture in the egg as possible, to perhaps help the air cell heal back onto the shell.  Then compensate for air cell size later in the hatch.  Thoughts???  My intent is to hatch upright in carton.  Not sure when I should start turning. 

How old are they? If older, set tonight... if fresher, set in morn... I've not put anything on a crack, usually I just don't set those... but I did set one and it hatched, lol... I prefer to just set without sealing and watch for seeping... if it does, toss it... good luck!

Oh my goodness look at them, they are beautiful, who would ever think they are just 7 weeks old they grow so fast. Too fast.  @Sarkchick

Yes they do. Too fast.

I start with just warmed fluids at 2-3 ml per 100 grams, then repeat in 60-90 minutes if crop has cleared. So for a 450 gram bird that's 9 ml to 13.5 ml. Fluids first, then food. Warmed food is tubed at the same amount 2-4 times a day.

Thank you, Kathy! The math refused to compute, that's what I needed!

I'll try food tonight, right now I am trying to get her hydrated first...

You're awesome!!

Good news on my shipped eggs!

All the rolling air cells are nailed down solid by blood vessels!
