Does a pigeon hatched from a repaired egg grow weak and always get sick?

A lot of fanciers who race their pigeons are very picky. Even in eggs, they reject it if it did not reached their standards. Someone told me that I should throw away the eggs that I repaired using candle wax because it fell of their nest (another cock entered their cage and fight in there), because it will just grow weak even if it looks healthy.

I hope someone help me deciding because I don't wanna waste my time and money growing a weak pigeon. But I only had a limited time to submit a bird in a one loft race and if I wait for another clutch, I might submit a too young pigeon.

Any damage to the egg can only cause a chinck not to hatch at all - die in egg, or hatch out with visible deformity - malformation during development in egg. Everything that happens later depends on genetics and care for the bird. Any bird with poor care will be sickly and weak, and any bird with good care will be strong and show its full potential. And lastly I don't understand how time or money can be wasted on a life. Every living thing in our care deserves our love and care.

Thank you so much for your response, Ma'am/Sir. Every successful fancier that I watched in an interview, they all said that in racing pigeon industry, weak pigeons has no room. According to them, weak pigeons should be eliminated in a loft.

Someone being successful does not guarantee that he/she is a good person. There is a big difference between using animals for profit, prestige or fame and caring for animals just because you love them.
