She laid at the bottom of the box and it's stuck to the side. I now know that plastic will not do in the future as a lay box, but what do I do about the egg? Should I put the whole thing in the incubator as is? I can maybe use saran wrap as a "lid" for the box. I dunno. I don't want to lose the egg by ripping it from the box...

Using a spray bottle and spraying the place where the egg attaches to the side with warm water, letting it sit, and then pulling it (gently) off should do the trick. My first eggs this season were stuck like that and I got them off

should you scrub it all down like you do with snakes eggs? and clean it all really well? also after laying how long usually till they start feeding again?
