I helped a chick hatch before reading up, how badly did I screw up?

We’ve had a broody hen laying in the top of our horse trailer for a long time, and finally one of our eggs hatched. The problem is, I was impulsive and started scraping shell off of it (I couldn’t tell if it was fully piped or not). I only removed a few small shards before I realized what I was doing, but now I’m concerned that I may have screwed up this chicken. We’re relatively positive it was a late hatch and long overdue, but even then I’m concerned for the little thing.
