agree. Unfortunately some just go bad and when they do, typically its out of your control. For me its usually mold, so I use an anti-fungal powder and try to wipe the bad egg every few days. Takes some effort but sometimes it works. Just hatched a clutch that included a bad egg I nursed thru the process. Some also use liquid bandaid which I've tried as well. Good luck!
