To Intervene or Not to Intervene?

[Unicorny83]

I placed crayon wax on one of my eggs that fell and cracked, yesterday. Day 19. Do I need to help this lil one hatch? It had some bleeding, so I used corn starch to help and sealed big cracks with wax. It's moving around and chirping. Seems ready to hatch. What should I do? Just leave it?

You've done just what I would have done. I'd leave it to hatch on its own.

Well, 6 out of 12 are pipping as we speak. 1 is just about zipped. Got a zoomer over here!
