Will a cracked egg hatch in a Incubator?

[CHICKENHEAD]

I received a few cracked eggs in the mail. They are cracked but not leaking. Do they still have a chance of hatching? Would it be a good idea to go ahead and try, or would I stand a chance of hatching a deformed chick?

You can try sealing the shell with some melted candle wax. Candle them in 7 days and see if they are growing. Sometimes it does work.

I did have a cracked one hatch. I didn't put anything on it, but moved it away from the others in case it started leaking. Here is a link to a photo of the cracked egg. The crack was at the pointy end.
