That's basically it. I don't have supplies because the hen was sitting on the eggs. :(

This is the one egg I specifically wanted to hatch and clearly it was developing.

It's at day 13, 14, or 15 of incubation.
 
I've seen others here seal such breaks with Saran wrap. I would use IV plastic adhesive dressing (Opsite/Tegaderm) if it were me.

I would think you need to be careful not to cover too much of the shell to allow for respiration.

Search for Saran wrap:- it may help!
