I dropped an egg!

[Sandra]

I was candling the eggs and one slipped through my fingers. It didn't fell from too high because the incubator was just below. The shell didn't crack or anything, but I wonder if the sudden movement and the knock may have ruined it

On the good side, the egg isn't too old. I don't have the lay dates right here, but a week and a half maybe. So the embryo must be very small or not even started to form yet (I didn't see anything inside apart from the veins). I guess the consequences will be less serious than if it happened with a fully devoloped embryo.

There's not much than I can do now. Just wait and see, I guess. Has something like this happened to anyone else? Either if they are good or bad experiences, it would help to know how it turned out.

I can't share any experiences but I hope that the egg turns out good for you!! I did have quite a few eggs that got turned by a hatchling, and only 3 out of 5 made it

Best wishes to you and the egg and good luck!!!

Ouch, sorry about that. Were they left turned for a long time or are eggs just that delicate? This one rolled a little bit but I put it in the correct position almost inmediately.

Thanks for the well wishes.

I hope it will be ok for you.

Oh no, they could have been left like that anywhere from 1-5 hours, so it definitely wasn't just a little quick turn or anything :main_yes: Yours should be okay since it happened so quickly :main_thumbsup:

I dropped a whole container of eggs, only 1 died witch I figured was infertile.
Although they were being bedded by vermiculite I think if this one loooks fertile it will hatch.
