The other week I was my usual clumsy self and cracked and dropped a nest bowl and cracked an egg. Put a chip in it.
Cursing, I remembered something I had read years ago. I took the egg inside, got a paper tissue and cut a square piece about half an inch square. I put a smear of white PVA glue on the shell and stuck the tissue over the crack.
Put it back under the hen.
This morning, two babies hatched. :D :D
That works.
