Stuck egg, what do I do?

[Sylviaanne]

I have a guinea egg stuck to the rail. I tried to jiggle it loose but didn't want to do it too hard incase I would break it. The humidity is running right around 43% and a the rails are full. I can't take the rail out to wet it down. Any suggestions?

I also have an egg that looks to be blowing tiny white bubbles. Stay or go? Sylvia

Wet the egg as it sits in the rail. The bubbly one sounds like it needs to be tossed. Probably stinks too?

Maybe check the egg every once in a while. I had the same thing once one of the eggs got stuck to the rail and i came back and the egg was loose

Ah, yes, it did. It's gone now. I have 2 more now that look like tiny white bubbles. Thing is the bubbles are along the line I drew for measuring the air sacks. I didn't think I was breaking through but maybe........

Yes, I have been, it's been stuck for a couple of days. Maybe it's not important as long as it's in the rail being turned?

Could be the marker or pen you used was an acidic ink?
What did you draw on them with and I may be able to check it out.

Ok, when I had my egg stuck to the rail it fell off in 3 day.
How long has your's been stuck on the rail?

It was a pencil and I was worried that I might be pushing too hard because some of the shells were rough and the pencil wouldn't mark on them. Maybe I knocked some of the bumps off and it was like scratching a scab? It is an Office Depot #2 pencil.

I put them on to incubate on 6/3 and left them alone until 6/12, 9 days in the incubator. I was checking on the eggs in the other incubator and decided to see if I could see the air sacks in this incubator. I couldn't see them when I first put them in the incubator. My flashlight wasn't bright enough. That is when I found the egg stuck to the rail. I haven't tried to pour water on it because the room humidity is so high already. About 43%, no water added. I have been checking it about every day to see if it will come loose. I'm afraid to wiggle it too hard, afraid my fingers will go through the shell.

So basically, I don't know how long it has been stuck to the rail. My other incubator is still air and empty now, after some of the things I have read here at Backyard Chickens I'm afraid to move the other eggs to the still air and then try to soak the egg loose.
