Day 21–Crushed Broody Egg

[MagpieDucks]

I have 7 Orpington Bantam eggs on day 21. The broody got a little anxious and attempted to "help" it hatch. Ended up doing more harm than good. I stuck it back under her, but she ended up crushing it even more. I have it in the incubator now. It's still alive and moving. I moistened with some coconut oil, as the membrane was starting to go brown. You can see in the video how crushed it is.
