The cracks I've but some of that liquid skin on, but I've fully cracked the egg, god I feel useless

Since it's so close to hatching, you're probably OK. As long as your humidity is high and it doesn't dry out. You could CAREFULLY put a little piece of tape over the crack, but this may impede hatching. Didn't you read the thread "Don't drop stuff on eggs"?

Didn't mean too, it slipped out my hand, I have put a damp paper towel over it till I hear back from Danny or someone

Fingers crossed it'll all be ok Laura x

Perhaps posting a pic will show us just how cracked the egg is? If the egg only has a week to go I'd maybe not panic so much
