Detached Air sack??? help! chick still moving!

[littlepip]

one of my button quail eggs is 3 days overdue, and I tried to candle it. there is no defined air sack, just open space. I can see the chick moving in a pulsing beat. what do I do???? this could very well be the only living chick! HELP!

Can you hear it peep ?

there are no external pips so no. is she stuck?

 

[littlepip]

could I poke a small hole in the shell to help her breath? I don't know what to do! she's my only living egg. all other's died during hatch. EDIT: one of my other eggs pipped! but...outside of the air sack. AGH THIS IS SO STRESSFUL! PLEASE HELP!

Can you show a picture of the egg with the detached airsac?

I'm afraid the chick died. there's no longer movement.
