It's a sack and not an egg but the primary food source, the only one, is the placenta and the nutrients go via the umbilical cord.

It has been 21 days and fluid is starting to come out a egg does that mean it is going to hatch?

No, That means it is infected with bacteria and is about to explode. If you had candled them earlier you would have noticed there wasn't an embryo growing inside and could have discarded it then. The best thing to do is to carefully cover it with a damp washcloth and remove if from the incubatorbecause if it explodes most of the birds that hatch will die.
