Egg cracked! Help!

[AtlantisPeeps]

I am hatching 5 eggs under my broody hen. My only EE egg somehow got cracked! I read that candle wax would work, but I don't have any candles. Will hot glue work???

Someone on another thread suggested coating the crack with egg white and letting it dry before you put it back.

Btw it is day 17.

I'd be afraid to try hot glue if it was me - seems too "forever glued." With my luck that would be the spot the chick tried to peck out of and he'd be unable to get the shell opened. <sigh> Wish I knew whether it would hatch for you or not - I'm afraid I just don't have the experience with hatching eggs. So far in my "career" out of 23 eggs in two settings I had one chick.
