hole cracked into air sac in egg

[jacmoore]

a hole was recently made into the air sac of one of our fertilized chicken eggs. it's about 1-18 days in. the membrane separating the air sac to the chick is still intact but I was wondering if the membrane would dry out and kill the chick. will it be okay?

you can put a little piece of electrical or scotch tape over the hole. Just big enough to cover it.
