HELP - egg cracked ducking peeping

[DukesDucks]

I accidentally cracked an egg of a Muscovy duck that is due to hatch in the next couple of days. Badly broken and I think membrane is ripped. I can hear the poor guy peeping inside. Duck has rejected the egg. Currently under warm light. What do I do?

Can you post a picture of it? Also, try to get the temperature up to at least 99.5°F. I see you're in Canada so that would be 37.5° C. Thank God for conversion apps!

I feel terrible. Afraid it might already be too late but need to try.

It's still moving inside.

Do you have a plain non-viable egg? I might take that, drain the yolk out, and try to split the shell in half, clean the yolk out more, then fit it over the damaged part of the other egg, it'd fit like a glove almost. Following? You could you use a bit of candle wax to help "seal" it in too.

Happy ending to my cracked egg disaster. I brought the egg in and put it in the oven with the light on. Misted it with warm water every half hour. First the beak, then a toe and wing, and finally at 2:00am it was fully emerged from egg. This pic taken then. This morning up, active and fluffy. Moving it back out to coop to re-join, under supervision, the other ducks and ducklings.
