I have an egg that if I turn it to the x up side it will flip to almost o up. and no matter what posiyion I turn it to it will flip to the same position every time it never fails. I am 100% sure it is not fertile but it was just wierd.

yea sounds like a bad egg. from my experience, usually an egg with the innerds dried up to one end. Notice it on eggs with cracks. You can try to incubate it then candle it at a week or more. If it is no good then can toss it.

while I was turning eggs I found the wierd egg and one more that were cracked in half, they were both dried out pretty bad. about half of the egg was dried up. Is this a normal thing for infertile eggs?

Why are you trying to incubate cracked eggs? If given the chance to remain in the incubator, the egg will explode. If more then one egg explodes you will have one hell of a time cleaning. I do not recommend trying to hatch eggs that have any kind of  cracks or different shades of opacity. These eggs will more then likely explode give the chance. If you have an egg that has a pin hole in it, you can try using super glue or nail polish to seal it. This has work for me in the past. Steve Pheasant Hollow Farm |

Hello Mike, I would remove all eggs that show any type of cracks in them, I have heard about exploding eggs and hear it can be pretty bad. plush the smell isn't that great. so I would remove them

Usually the innerds of cracked eggs will just dehydrate to the bottum end in incubation. But it's the ones that go rotten that will eventually crack and explode from bacteria build up.
since you have a candler, just remove all bad eggs.

pamike, Once again, why would you incubate cracked eggs, and where are you getting these from? Steve Pheasant Hollow Farm |

That was supposed to have a picture in it.LOL
The egg is about the size of a pea, I don't think it would have, but... is it possible for an egg that small to hatch?
