I took this pick the chick is still moving inside the membrane

I’ll try to get a picture but literally it looks like a Chunk of shell about the size of a dime is missing

I have eggs under a broody hen it’s day 19 and when my hen was off nest getting a drink I noticed one egg was missing a chunk of shell but membrane is intact. Is this the chick hatching or did she crack it somehow? And what are chances of survival since membrane is still intact.
