Is this egg too damaged?

This is one of the eggs from my megabatch of 12, is there any hope for it?

Is the inner membrane ripped or broken? If it's intact and the egg is fertile there is nothing preventing it from hatching. Use a liquid bandage around the hole and place a piece of cleaned chicken egg shell over the hole, than more liquid bandage around the edges of the bit of chicken egg shell. This will prevent to much moisture from leaving the egg and the egg drying out.

That should work just try to find one with a brush as I think the spray will be everywhere.
