It does look like a crack. You can tell for sure if you look closely at it while candling. If it is a crack it will show up on the inside of the shell while being candled.

You can do a search in the Incubating forum for how to repair cracks. There are a number of different methods.

When I find a cracked egg in my incubator, I remove and discard it because I don't want to deal with it potentially becoming rotten.
