If the egg was on the cage floor it means the parents put it there its not going to hatch. The one with the crack if its not open dont worry about it. The parents will take care of it.
You dont need a tetnus shot.
The color of the babies usually take after the mother

The American Cockatiel Society recommends: “If for some reason an egg becomes chipped or cracked, assuming it isn’t overly damaged, you may repair it. I use egg white or clear nail polish. Take a clean small soft brush and paint the damaged area. One coat of nail polish is usually enough but you will need several coats of egg white. I prefer the latter method.” http://www.acstiels.com/Articles/Breeding/candling.htm
Another site, however, claims that “A cracked egg will not hatch. Just take it away.” http://www.birdhotline.com/quesarc.htm
No need to see the doctor for your bite – just clean it well, put antibiotic ointment on it, and a band-aid.
Many people think that hand-feeding is the only way to produce friendly babies, but this is not true. If the parents are friendly, and you handle the babies every day starting from about 7 to 10 days old, they will be friendly.

Scroll down to the section on cockatiels. There is a 10-part series on Responsible Breeding of Cockatiels – I’m sure that will help you with your birds.
