I needed advice on what to do next time. I was gone all day and when I came home I went to check one of my broody hens (eggs should hatch on 7/2). She has 9 eggs under here and one was missing part of the shell....at least half of it. I have no idea what happened. The sac was still intack but I thought for sure the chick had died, so I opened it up and it was still alive. I started running back to the house to put it into the incubator, but it died before I could get there. I could tell there was a chick in the sac by the shape. SHould I have left it alone and put in the incubator, or was it a lost cause.
