Cracked egg under broody girl day 20

[Livingthehenlife]

Hi Everyone,
Thank have a broody hen that I allowed to sit on a few eggs. They are at day 20 and today when I went to check in on her, one of the eggs was out from under her and quite cold. The other has its shell broken open but the membrane is intact. I wanted to let things take their natural course but I’m curious if there is any chance for the broken egg? Another chicken got in with her today and I think it was damaged by this rather than actually pipped. Thank you in advance and I will continue to update on the situation.

If it hasn't been punctured it may survive but getting stepped on also could've shifted it and made it impossible to hatch of damaged some vital organs that hadn't been absorbed. if you see blood it's likely a no go, but you can always wait it out and see

The chick in the crushed egg died overnight. The yolk sack was not absorbed at the membrane was broken open too.
