HELP! Dropped a Duck Egg and there's blood

[ks1961ks]

I have hatchlings coming on Friday. Today is Tuesday. It's lockdown day for the incubator.
I pulled out the eggs to remove the rollers. I dropped one of them and it rolled on the counter and into the sink where it broke open.
There's a live bird in there. The membrane broke, too. I quickly put it on a moist paper towel and put it in the incubator.
I made sure that the membrane wasn't around its little bill, before gently placing it in.

QUESTION:
The incubator is now on lockdown. If by chance this poor baby lives, can it stay in the incubator for 3-4 days?

Signed,
Feeling horrible

Generally I only leave them in the incubator 24 hours after hatch.

The little one didn’t survive. I’m crushed.

I know it is devastating, but accidents happens. This wasn't your fault. Even mama birds make mistakes sometimes. None of us are judging you, many of us have been there too!
