If the hydrometer was cracked and some liquid seeped in, this should cause
the initial reading to be high. That would indicate to me you had less than
1.095. I assume that you could see it fermenting and the yeast really was
active in the primary. If, when you moved it from primary to secondary, you
did not bring over enought yeast, it may have stuck. Jack has
recomendations for how to restart a stuck ferment. I would suggest you try
that.
