There is really nothing you can do. Once an egg is broke, its gone. The best thing is to never mess with a bird's nest. If you do, they will catch your scent and never go back to it.

Leave it. There is no sense in interfering with nature. There is a reason for everything.
Birds know long before we do if the chick will survive or if the egg is good. Yes, accidents happen, and chicks and eggs could fall out of the nest. Otherwise, if they don't feel that the chance of survival are good enough, they may push their own eggs and chicks out of the nest. Unlness you have personally seen the parent birds protecting the egg or feeding the nestling on the ground, there is a reason for them being there.

The best thing to do is do nothing at all. The momma bird should take care of it herself. She will continue to take care of the remaining eggs unless human scent is present in the nest.

If you already touched the egg..don't try putting it back to the nest...because the mamma will abandon the nest...and never come back. If you didn't touch the egg...and it is in the nest...as I said before don't touch the nest...the mamma will take care of it. She will know what to do.

If you don't know anything about birds, take it to the vet.
