Attempting to hatch a chick with my body heat

[FuzzyDinoNuggets]

Hi everyone! So I saw the YouTube video where a guy hatches a chick with his body heat, and I’ve been wanting to try it for so long. Well I finally decided to try it! So I started designing a contraption to hold the egg and keep it at the right temperature. I cut a piece of thin cardboard and hot glued it into the shape of an egg, leaving an opening on one side. I then glued a piece of cardboard around the opening, lined the inside with tin foil, and wrapped a chip bag around the outside.
(pictures shown below)

I am using a long piece of fabric to tie it underneath my arm (where it is less noticeable), and wear warm cloths to retain as much heat as possible. I take it off for 30 minutes to shower and candle the egg. I’ve seen some growth
Today is day 5 of incubation, I will be candling it and attaching photos each day. Fingers crossed that it hatches!

Unfortunately, it's going to suffocate in that wrapping.
It's very hard to hatch a chick this way, 99.99% of the time ended in the chicks death to various reasons.

This is the egg and what it looks like on day 5

Anyone have any ideas on what I should name the egg?

Is this just an experiment? For science's sake? I'm just a little baffled. If you don't mind wearing warm clothes in the summer to see if an egg will hatch, that's okay, I suppose. I mean no offense, I just am not sure what the point is.

Ya, I just thought it would be fun to see if it would hatch.It’s also not very hot right now where I live.

There's been several members on here that have tried this.
Most try it in their bra so maybe search incubating & bra or such and you should find some of the others.
I can't remember anyone being successful.

Huh. And I continue to be baffled!

It not being hot would help. I just realized you don't have a location showing on your profile, so I was imagining you in the south with heavy clothing on.
