Hatching

This is my first time hatching and I'm really nervous. My sister bumped into the incubator and cracked one of the eggs really bad. So bad where there's a piece of shell and a deep gash in the membranes. I've been candling and it looks healthy. This morning I went to candle as when I took it out of the incubator there was yellowish liquid running out of the gash. I cleaned it off but I don't know if it's a goner or not. Please help!
 
First how early in incubation is the egg? If it is oozing it is probably going to die. Once air hits the inside before it is ready to pip externally, it is open to bacteria. Had it not punctured the membrane and if it was close to hatching it might have had a chance if the hole was covered with wax. Sadly since it is oozing there is no chance of saving it.
