I have an egg that was under a broody. She decided after the pip to crack the shell all over the place. How do I help. I do not have an incubator

If it's not bleeding, it can probably be saved. But the hen usually will crush it further, so you probably want to take it.
How cracked is it? Can you post a picture?
If you're of the female persuasion, you may be able to stick it in your bra and carry it around for a few hours. That's what I generally do.
You can also rig up a closed incubator, but that can be a bit complicated depending on your available heat sources and equipment. You'll need a heat source, about 60-70% humidity (if you're below that, use a sponge full of water on a plate) and a box. I have used an upturned lamp as a heat source, and I've used a hot water bottle. There's no need to be picky.
Great!It has now came all the way out of shell
