red foot chipped eggs

[pochito]

hello
I discovered a red foot nest yesterday and 3 out of 4 eggs are cracked
and the shells chipped. The leathery part looks good. I'm still incubating them. any chance they're still good?

Sure, if they don't dry out. You could seal the cracks with a little silicone, but you have to use it sparingly, so they can still breathe and be able to get out.

I get those from my sulcatas sometimes. They frequently hatch out. I don't do anything at all to them. As long as the inner, leathery membrane is still intact, I just pop them in the incubator and 90-100 days later, POOF!, a healthy little baby pops out.

For a minute there I was really confused! Then it dawned on me that when you discovered the eggs on 8/8, it was an old nest, not a new one. I was thinking, whew! hatching in only two weeks? Wow!

Can we see pictures of the babies?
