I accidently broke an egg that was being incubated by my chicken, the inner membrane is still intact. Is there a problem if I keep it there?

I'm sorry but I believe that one is too damaged as parts of the shell which protects it from bacteria are missing. The shell contains bloom which protects the membrane. When it's smaller cracks, they can be "fixed" with melted crayola crayon/wax or fingernail polish.

If you have an incubator, you could see how it may fair by itself, but with the rest of the eggs, it can get bacteria which can infect the other eggs as well.

Alright, thanks for the help…
