    Help please egg accident

    My incubator lid just fell off the Viv above where I was adding water to the egg medium due to humidity drop.

    It's caused one of the eggs to split slightly and start seeping clear liquid.

    They are on Day 44 can I save it please help they are my first ever clutch xx

    Re: Help please egg accident

    I've never had this happen to me but i've heard that liquid band aid works well for something like this. Please do it quickly if you do go this route. Maybe other members have experience with this. Good luck and I hope you can remedy this.

    Thanks Albert, I dont have any liquid plaster here - I have used a few layers of cut to size kitchen paper like a shaving cut for the time being. Have spoken to a few of my British friends who have been ofering advice also xx

    Your best bet is liquid bandaid, which is breathable, as you get close to piping, air exchange is becoming more important, you also need to seal that eggs properly to prevent bacterial development.
