Okay I did a terrible mistake when candeling the egg I let it drop on the floor and it got a slit and eggfluid is coming out....
The egg is 12 days to early open which means 3rd of next month is the normal hatchdate.

Does you think their is any chance that it will hatch normaly? What shall I do? Any experience?

THX for help...

Okay...nobody laugh at me too much,:eek: but here is what I have done before. I once had an egg rupture when I was removing it from a laying box. Fluids were dripping out like crazy, and the only thing I could think of was to put a tiny piece of paper towel on the opening to "stop the bleeding" (lol). Well, it dried on there kind of creating a seal, and the egg went full term and hatched! It worked for me, so it's worth a try!

This is an interesting thread. I once had an egg which I believe a super worm bit a hole into. I incubated the egg as normal, hoping it would heal itself. Both eggs from that clutch ended up going bad. It's good to hear there is some chance of survival for these scenarios though.
