HELP Hen stepped on egg and embryo exposed, egg shell coming off too early

Its no longer in the shell, its breathing and moving and making sucking mouth movements at times
 
The shell got crushed off when then hen stepped on it it broke through both the shell and membrane right where the chicks beak was
 
I can see it open its beak taking air in and breathing or heart beating sort of fast and making swallowing movements afterwards, and stretching its legs and wings a tiny bit occasionally, but its sort of sleeping and resting
 
Its starting to dry out a little bit its in a towel lined box under a 275 watt red heat lamp above above the rest of the chicks, so closer to the heat, I am frequently monitoring to make sure its not to warm and has a cooler 1/2 side of box
 
Maybe something wrong with its legs and feet. Its very wobbly and can't hold upright for very long. Feet seem to lay sideways.
