Exploding and egg after first chick hatches

[arcadianacres]

I went out to check on the hen and her clutch and heard a loud pop. One of the non-viable eggs had exploded. I now know that I should have taken it out earlier but given the current situation, what do I do? Some of the gunk got on the new chick. Should I leave it alone and let nature take it's course or should I go ahead and relocate to the pen I have ready for the new chicks and mama?

We thought that everything was okay but some of the goo that got on the baby chick ended up almost chemically burning off the feathers on her back. We doctored it and she made it for a couple of days but then passed away. So sad. Now I know better for future clutches

My condolences on the loss of your chick! I am sorry to hear that.
I fret over these eggs like nobody's business so I can imagine how you may feel. Did any other chicks survive that deleterious situation?
Hoping so...
