Here it is. Probably the best hatching resource on the internet in my opinion.

Thank you!

It should be OK, eggs are resilient. Monitor the membrane to make sure it doesn't get too dry

The membrane was white last night, but dark this morning. Did I get it too wet when I misted it last night, or is the chick stuck to it? I have no clue what I’m doing I was going to use coconut oil, but I don’t have any after all.

Pictures?

It’s still moving as of this morning when I held the light up to it, even though it’s badly cracked and dented. I circled the now dark membrane.

Misting is both not enough for that area and too much for the eggs surface.
the water need to be applied directly to the membrane.

Oh no! So I may have killed it? I feel so bad

Not necessarily, just leave it alone for now.

How's it going?

I’ve been periodically putting water on a qtip and moistening the membrane, but this morning I woke up to it just seeming extra cracked and another egg is pipping already. The membrane looks dry on the cracked one, but I don’t want to open the incubator and ruin the for sure healthy one that’s pipping. I wish I wouldn’t have dented the one. I feel awful
