Miscalculated...tomorrow is hatch day!

So my Turkey has been laying on 3 chicken eggs for me. I candled them the other day and 2 of them were quitters. The remaining egg has looked perfect at each candling. I placed them under her on the 30th. I went on vacation for 4 days last weekend. I guess I was so caught up in my trip that I forgot that there were 31 days last month. So thinking that today was day 19, I decided to candle it one last time when she got off the nest. Boy was I surprised when it had already internally pipped! I held it up to my ear and heard it chirping as well. Hopefully, I'll have a new chick this time tomorrow if all goes well. This will be her first successful hatch after having an unsuccessful hatch 2 months ago, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well

Did it hatch?

Unfortunately, I went this morning to check for an external pip but the egg was completely still and quiet. I tried tapping on it with no response. I candled it and found no movement. I put a tiny air hole in it to check for movement but still nothing. During the candling I saw what looked like hemorrhaging. I decided to go ahead and open it carefully and sure enough I was right. The poor chick went right through a blood vessel. These are pics from the candling and the chick itself.
