Hands on hatching and help

Hello i have a problem with my duck egg and dont know how to handle ....
I broke my egg last night because i squeezed it with the straw too much in order to make it warm

luckyly the membrane isnt intact and no blood leak out
It is like this
When i was covering some pieces of shells with sticky glue
back into the egg i saw the egg rocking, slightly to hardly 2h after i broke it :O today it also shaking too! but i dont hear any peeping. Do i broke the egg to let the duck out or just let him peck the shell by himself?
P/s: He will turn 27th tomorrow.
Hoping for your helps!

Was this egg under a hen, or in an incubator?

Do not open the egg before you see some indication that the duck is trying to get out on his own.
 
:ya    Awesome!  And good for the little black dude!  :D

Oh, I checked the lav eggs that had the weird dark lines under the yolk, the ones I thought were quitting, and they are doing fine!  Strange eggs to candle, compared to all the others. 

That's great!

Hello, this egg is in my homemade incubator i was covering the egg with straw to tight so the egg broke ...
Is shaking an indication that he's hatching ?

The egg shaking means that it positioning itself for hatching . That's means it's rotating in the shell preparing to pip .let it do it itself if it will. If it pips it may have trouble zipping because of the broken shell and you may need to assist it . But give it a chance first. and then explain this homemade incubator of yours .
 
Well, I thought I would have hatching yesterday, but my count was off a day. Today is day 21. I have 2 pipped Polish and 3 pipped Golden Cuckoo Marans. One pipped at the wrong end and I'm trying to help it, but get so far and see blood, so I wait 4 hours and try again. It is still doing ok. I was checking my other incubator with Welsh Harlequin Duck eggs that are on Day 25 and noticed one of my Bourbon Red Turkey Eggs rocking!! Turkeys aren't due for another 13 days.
