I cracked a hatching egg. Can I save it?

[Burnttoast5475]

So i made the mistake of cracking an egg because i thought it wasnt alive but when i was cracking a little bit i couldve sworn i heard a chirp. So I put it back in my incubator with high humidity. Did I ruin the chances of the egg surviving? What can I do to help?

Your title is a little confusing, can you edit it?

What day is it since you set the egg? Can you seal the crack with some wax?
