So we have been hatching 4 bantam chicks, and one finally hatched, but the door was left open to to the incubator room. The incubator was knocked on the floor by the cat, and two of the eggs cracked. One has a large spot where the membrane is showing. The current hatched chick is doing fine without any injuries. The small crack without the membrane showing has surgery tape over the crack, and the other with the membrane showing has a small damp piece of paper towel covering the membrane and more surgical tape covering the cracks. Thank you!!
 
If you can get to a drug store for some second skin liquid bandage, I highly recommend it. Or you may have some at home. After using all sorts of things, I've found that to be the most effective. The antiseptic properties protect against bacterial infection and it won't restrict hatching no matter how much you apply or where the embryo ends up pipping.
Just let it dry completely before you let the wet area touch anything else.
Humidity will be tricky during the process but keep it as high as possible to prevent shrink wrapping.

Ok, thank you so much! That helps a ton :)
 
If they are all hatching now, I wouldn't do anything but keep humidity up and let them finish hatching keeping a close eye on their progress.
Only one has hatched so far, it will be another 2-7 days until the others hatch. The one with the membrane showing has about 6 days left
