Looks like a turkey egg. to Me does not look like it hatched. Did you find the nest or did a bird leave this. We have Ravens that will carry eggs off and drop them.

Poults hatch by pecking a circle around the big part of the egg. That egg looks like it was eaten by something.

[jimmythechicken]

Judging by all the yolk on that egg, you will not find a poult. Something got into the turkey nest and had some snacks.

This would be a example of what a hatched egg would look like.

 

[jimmythechicken]

That egg that you found opened on the side was carried to where you found it by a raccoon then eaten.
