I found a pair of emu eggs I didnt know what they were (I have two adult emus that I raised this is the first eggs) I accidently cracked one slightly before I knew what it was. Will it hatch?

The crack will introduce bacteria and dry the egg too quickly. It will probably die. I'm so sorry for your loss. May things improve soon. She might lay another one when this one is removed. Good luck

No you can't hatch a cracked emu egg. You already cracked the embryo.

Cracking the shell will allow bacteria to enter the egg. The bacteria will readily feast on the yolk of the egg (which is what the growing embryo is meant to eat) and will, essentially, kill the egg. If you really wanted to try to hatch it, you could, but just keep in mind how terrible rotten egg smells.
