One egg cracked, not in good way.. help please

They are so adorable and teenee tiny too 🥺have you named any yet? And do you have others as well?
actually i am selling them to a good friend of mine..she's now 6 days old and started to feather out with her two sibblings..i do have their parents
 
What kind of ducks do you have? Do you have Mucovies? If so, then honesty, we don't know when they might hatch!
No Mucovies
I have 3 boys and Swedish blue, Cayuga, and fawn runner
And my girls are
2 pekin
2 Rouen
1 Cayuga
And 1 khaki campell (my oldest who’s about one and a half the rest are all from late March)
So 28 days is the average time period I guess
 
My house had a power outage today, so we brought the incubator to my grandmothers. When I was adding water into the incubator I put this egg (#1) on the counter where the incubator was, turns out the counter is no even, and the egg rolled of. Shaking I found that supper glue was the best way to help this. I know the cracks spread through most of the shell but they don’t seem deep. Will the glue help? It’s still moving of what I can see because it’s more in the light but I don’t want to move it as the glue is drying and I don’t what it to fall off of the glass if it currently on. Is there any chance of survival? (they have four days left) do you think the glue will make it live longer? And when it did crack only little good came out no blood, so I don’t think it hit a vein, and hopefully didn’t pierce the membrane.If it did not do you think that it could have any chance of making it to hatching day. It I see no movement I might do an “egg operation” on the day it was supposed to hatch. Is that a good idea? Really disappointing and it was absolutely an accident, but I still feel as if I’m to blame :( sorry if this is chaotic but I’m still shaken up

Movement was last seen about two hours ago.
Just now I could not see it any but most of the egg is dark from being on day 25. View attachment 2355335
Although this red spot is there.. I’m gonna give it until tomorrow I think, is that enough time? Is it doomed? And is this there because the membrane was pierced? Ugh I feel awful:th

Update 2- one hour later at 11:36
No movement and with that red spot I was afraid it broke the membrane. Well it looks as it there is an air bubble, and when I move the egg it goes inside.. so I think it did break. If there’s no movement by morning- I will probably barry it during my lunch break.. Please reply if this is the right thing to do- if there’s a chance I could help it live somehow I will take it, but I don’t think there’s anything more I can do at this point, right?
7:52 am
Still no movement :/
Any advice?
 
The duck egg that was dropped has not moved since around 8 last night that I have seen. Should I take it out? What’s the best thing to do at this point to help this and egg and the other eggs. Should I wait longer or has it been long enough, or too long?
