Shell cracked but not membrane??

I hope it all works out for you! It varies by the chicken, of course, but I had a hen welcome a chick two full days after being done with her nest. I hope your little one integrates well with the others!

The only other time I've let a broody hen do her work, I had to take one of her chicks away when they were a couple days old because it was injured, so I took 3 of her babies so the injured one had a friend (She had like 12 so she didn't miss them trust me lol) and about a week later, I let her and her 9 babies out of their crate, and put the 3 babies near her, she didn't even notice they weren't hers! But I've heard so many horror stories about the mother hen eating the chick that I'm nervous
