EGG EXPLODED UNDER BROODY HEN

[Golden Brahma 64]

i cant do much as the egg is dry and the only evedence of it exploding is the bits of egg shell around the nest. All I want to know is if this will effect the eggs ? Is there enything I can do ? It’s day 16 today, I’ve been just leaving it to her, I haven’t checked her nest in a week so I don’t know when it happend

I wouldn't do anything at this point.

50/50 chance of contamination of the rest of the viable eggs.
But a 100% chance of the nastiest smell on earth will begin shortly.
Once we had a batch born under or deck. I brought them indoors for brooder reasons. OMG.. they smelled like rotten eggs. We had to place the brooder in the barn because it funked the house up so bad. Gag bad.
