What Can You Do With A Broken Egg

[egyptiandan]

And no not make an omelette

Back on November 29th, a Russian laid a clutch of 4 eggs. In the process of laying and burying, she broke one of the eggs (made a round shatter in the egg). It didn't break the inner membrane, so I thought it should be good to incubate. I did though have to cover the hole as the egg would have dried out without covering. I used a bit of old shell and some liquid skin.
Well today she started to hatch Just amazing what can happen to an egg and still have it hatch.

Can't wait to see when he/she gets out of there. Good thing for him/her that you knew what you were doing.

Congrats!! Very inventive thinking =]

I'm amazed that that worked. Great job. Very innovative. I imagine many viable tort eggs will survive now due to your discovery. I'll share this with everyone I know that has or breeds reptiles.

Congratulations!

Gratz I have always heard as long as the membrane is not broken it stands a good chanco of hatching. Did you cover the hole with anything or just leave it alone?

OOOOoooohhhh!

It's just too precious! Will she take several days to break out of her egg, like Terry's little CH, or are Russians faster at hatching?

In any case, she'll be an instant celebrity!

LOL!!! Ok...ok:

I really think that little leg sticking out of the shell is cute!

So there!

Who would have thought to save a broken egg!!
Why Danny of course.
What a trip! How many are now going to try and save all their broken eggs. In an incubator, how long will they take to smell if they don't grow? Still worth a chance I know.
