Depending on how long this egg had been abandoned when you found it, and how long it had been incubated there is a remote possibility that you could continue the incubation process. If it had been incubated for 7 day prior to you finding it, touch a small bright flashlight to the top of the egg to see if there is any life / growth. You need an egg incubator. Incubation periods and hatching periods require different temperatures and humidity, as well the number of turns the egg requires per day. This sounds like a lot of work and equipment for one egg, doesn't it? Your best bet may be to take the egg to a hatchery or your local zoo, where you know they have all the required equipment and technology at their finger tips. More input from FAQ Farmers: * Yes, it can and why not try? If you do not have an incubator make one... I have hatched a chicken egg in a toaster oven before. They imprint too - meaning that when you hatch waterfowl YOU ARE the mother!!! PLEASE KNOW THE GOSLING WILL DROWN IF PUT IN WATER IF NOT HATCHED BY ITS MAMA.

∙ 12y agoOnce I had a chicken egg that got a crack in it when it was 2 week into incubation and it still hatched. If the membrane (the skin inside the egg) isn't broken then it can hatch :) :).

My duck laid an egg which has a real little crack.. My female duck died on Sunday after laying the egg. I did not know she laid an egg and on on Tuesday I found the egg. Is it still alive?
It would still be viable but the crack in the egg will probably render it useless for hatching. Cracks in eggs allow bacteria and disease to enter the fertilized eggs and effect the viability. Most cracked eggs do not make it to full hatch.
If you open a duck egg before crack will it still be alive?
yes

There is a possibility. It all depends on the crack and if bacteria got into it. If the crack isnt to bad you could melt candlewax and put the melted candlewax on the crack of the egg.
