What day of incubation was this egg on when the accident happened?

From what I read it was hatching and she stepped on it.

From what I read it was hatching and she stepped on it.

So day 21? Actively zipping or had just pipped? From the blood that was on the membrane I don't think it was actually ready to hatch yet, so it may need more time to absorb, which is why I ask

 

[C3 mommy]

I have a broody hen 7 eggs left and one was in the process of hatching and she was stepping on it chicks cheeping but there is blood on the egg I have another that has just piped. She has killed 4 chics by standing on them 3 hatched and doing well but I had to move eggs out of the way each time. I do not have an incubator but do have a plastic container and heating pad there are viable chicks in the eggs that havent hatched yet and I don't want any more losses because she stepped on them.

That's all I know
