One of your duck egg accidentally got bumped and cracked on the air cell end of the egg on day 19 of incubation and you were wondering if the duck embryo could survive with a little dent on the shell?

nevermind....i patched the egg with kleenex. It survived and it hatched last night....its name is Patches. =o) Small late incubation cracks can be mended with a piece of scotch tape. Just be sure to use the smallest piece of tape possible, as the shell of an egg needs to remain gas permeable for proper development. As a teacher, I used to remove a very small piece of shell and used a syringe to dye the chicks with a small amount of food coloring (with breeds like the Pekin) before they hatched. Students were always atounded to see green, red, pink and blue chicks emerge.

What is the term for the offspring of a bluebird?
Bluebirds normally deliver their young in the form of an egg. Should the brood survive incubation, they hatch; becoming hatchlings, then chicks. Then if they survive further, they become fledglings.
If you find a bird egg that is really cracked but warm would the bird inside still be alive?
If the embryo has started it likely would not survive a cracked shell. A crack in the shell would allow bacteria to enter the shell and infect the growing chick. If the shell is cracked within a day or so of hatch it is possible for the chick to survive to hatch but still is unlikely.
What happened to meg because of Mrs which mistake in a wrinkle in time?
Mrs.Which accidentally leads them to a 2-dimensional planet, which the children can't survive on as they are 3-dimensional. The 3 Mrs. Ws can survive by becoming flat though!

If you place carp in a pond that has dye in it can they survive?
We have several ponds and would like to put carp in them to keep the algae down. However we also have dye in the ponds for color. so was just wondering if the carp would survive with the dye in the ponds.
If a TV is in a high traffic area and every once in a while is accidentally unplugged while people are watching it will the TV break?
I'm not sure I understand your question. You're saying people are watching the TV and it accidentally gets unplugged? All you have to do is plug it in and, in some cases, you may have to turn the power back on. When manufacturer's make appliances, they have to be able to survive accidental interruptions like this. Think about how many times the power accidentally goes off.

Are there maggots in blueberries?
Maggots are fly larvae, and they subsist on primarily dead meat and waste. Unless maggots were introduced in the production process accidentally, there's no reason to find maggots in chocolate - they can't survive in it.
How long can 10 day fertilized egg survive out of incubation?
Your question does not make total sense. If stored correctly, eggs will hatch after storage for 3 weeks from being laid. depending on species, eggs are fertilised 1 day to a few weeks before being laid.
How long does the average turtle live?
When turtles are born only about 1 in 100 make it to the ocean. The ones that do make it to the ocean can accidentally swallow some plastic. If they don't get caught in nets then they might survive until they are 400.

How many chicks will survive I am doing a science experiment where i will hatch 12 chicks If I buy all the right supplies and care for them well how many can I expect to survive?
There would be no way to predict the outcome of this experiment. Too many factors can influence the outcome. Breed often determines hatch rate. Temperature and humidity of incubator. (number of times incubator is opened). Age of viable eggs before incubation. All this will effect the hatch rate.
