Emergency, crack in egg under hen!

I looked at the egg my hen has been setting on and it he's a crack. It looks ok but will the chick be fine. What should I do?!

what day is it on?

I think it was today, it wasn't there Saturday when I looked, I didn't check yesterday. It doesn't look damaged inside and I the chick has grown sence Saturday, nothing was coming out of the egg, just a crack.

I read somewhere that you could put some non toxic Elmer's white glue over the crack. I did a little, I guess I will just have to wate and see what happens.

Seal the crack with some candle wax. A birthday cake candle, if you have any around is ideal, as the wax melts at a lower temperature.
