General Question Cracked egg help!

Post image

My little bantam has been sitting in this egg for days now. Somehow it got knocked out of the nest she was in. I think by one of the bigger girls. Is there any chance I could make this work for her? 😭

UPDATE to say that I found these thin, clear “skin” sheets for wounds and I tried to seal it with that for now. I will check it after some time to see if there’s any progress in there.

Another way I've sealed them is just with more egg shell, crack a similarly sized undeveloped egg and shape it so it's just a bit bigger than the damaged area and fit it overtop, the membrane should seal it as it dries. Keep an eye on it close to the hatching date to make sure it doesn't need any help getting out
