I have used a drop of clear finger nail polish a couple of times an had success, couple of times it didnt also!
Kelly (Santandercal) says that you can make a paste out of flour and water and that it works! It would be non-toxic for sure!

Hey Gabe this has happen to me when i have gone to check to see if they had hatch.As you say one has hatched already so the other should be almost ready, You just help it a little.

Just dropping it hard enough to crack it can kill the little one too much shaking going on.Some are stronger than other tho and you could be lucky.You'll know by tomorrow.

Hope it turns out to be a keeper!
Got one in the nest right now, patched it probably 10 days ago! Still looks good under a flashlight! Got my fingers crossed, its out of my best pr of Urbans!
When I use the polish, it is very very sparingly! Just enough to cover the crack or chip!

THEY ALSO MAKE A EGG REPAIR KIT. MY FRIEND USES IT FOR HIS CHICKENS AND RARE SPORTING BIRDS.I CANT AFFORD IT AND I HAVE USED A CHICKEN EGG TO PATCH WITH CRACK THE STORE BOUGHT EGG AND USE THE SHELL AND THE INNER LINER TO MAKE A PATCH.IT WORKS 75% OF THE TIME.
