I made a horrible judgment call! Do I continue the Hatch?

i have a situation here....i got 13 shipped eggs....candled after 5 days all but two thriving....so i had 11 now...tonight at day 10 i got home from work. tired and actually not feeling great....took one broody out (two hens were sitting on the eggs in dog crates all set up nicely) and i fell, knocked over the one one crate that was up on two milk crates....mom was already out...it tipped upside down, 3 eggs totally broke, one slightly cracked and two not damaged (on the outside that is!)....i will not get into my self recriminations, sick to my stomach, sad, ****** off (at myself)etc etc...question is...the two that are not broken..any chase they will be ok? the one that was slightly cracked i put first aid tape on...to give it a shot at least and will candle all again before lockdown....anyone ever had similar experience? it was a bad fall (for them not me)....i am so crushed and heartsick...the other hen still has 5...as a side not my new broody pen will be done in a few days so this will NEVER happen again.....

So sorry-- things happen... I've dropped an egg while candling. Some people have had luck sealing a crack with wax. The one I sealed, didn't survive. Look around this site, you might find a better solution .

thanks for replies....so the tape did not work...obviously the yolk was broken and it leaked and she threw it out...situation only got worse....long story short i gave her fake eggs for now and will give her chicks in next two days and the other hen has the eggs that are still good and two in question..what i disaster!
