Hello, I wasn't sure if this belonged in emergencies or in hatching eggs, but i thought I would try here first. The title is slightly misleading I didn't drop an egg, I was candling an egg before putting it into lockdown and for some reason it cracked terribly. I think there mist have been a hairline crack that I missed when i set the eggs and because I didn't realize that it left a large crack in the egg and whole pieces just fell off, the membrane seems to be unbroken except a tiny piece which was bleeding a little bit. Is there any hope for this chick and is there anything I can do to help it if so? I don't hold high hopes for it but I saw him wiggling around so I have to try
 
I would put a damp cloth on that. The membrane dries quickly once the shell is off. Hope you update, if the chick survives! I'm curious about it!
