broken egg during incubation

[silkiemother]

So, while I was checking the eggs to see if I needed to toss any since I'm hatching these by myself, I accidentally cracked an egg. the membrane isn't pierced and It's around day 7 for that egg. I gave that little guy another day to see if that killed em but it appears that it's doing just fine and still developing. I'm wondering if I should just toss it or give the little guy a fighting chance since it seems determined to live and I don't want to cull him if it has a chance at life. I did do my best to seal the crack with a bit of bees wax but I don't know what to do really, any ideas?

I'd leave it in - I've had cracked eggs patched up with candle wax hatch out just fine. I'd give it a chance. Just candle regularly to make sure it is still alive.
