Hatching Cracked Eggs

Oh no! I just cracked this beautiful blue egg as I was on my way to put it in the incubator! Argh! 😫

But check this out:

Many cracked eggs can still be successfully hatched with a bit of Scotch tape! You have to be able to cover every hairline crack, but not cover more than 30% of the egg so the shell can still breathe. You can candle the egg to check for hairlines. The light makes them stand out nicely. 

21 days later: 

Look closely and you can see it's hatching! 

A healthy baby chick! Despite a rough start! Yay! 😃
