Help! My egg is stuck to the automatic turner!

[Pennyandblue]

This is my first time hatching, I have 34 in an incubator and some under a hen. One of the eggs in the incubator is stuck to the automatic turner! They have only been in for a few hours and it was fine earlier, how do I get it unstuck? Do I get it unstuck? Is this my first hatching fatality? How do I prevent this for my other eggs? I had a small problem with humidity, but I quickly fixed it. Temp is at 100 and humidity is around 50. No eggs have sweated yet. Please help and thank you in advance!

(I couldn’t add a video but this is the egg)

Wait what direction is the turner turning right now?

They were recently laid, the one that is stuck is around 5 days. They have only been in the incubator a couple hours.

do you know what direction your turner might be going?

do you know what direction your turner might be going?

It’s turned twice since it’s gotten stuck, it’s going forward now.

It’s turned twice since it’s gotten stuck, it’s going forward now.

Maybe after it goes forward you'll be able to get it loose.

I got it wet and left it a second and gently got it to unstick. I made sure to clean the area and dry it off. I was scared to crack the egg, but the water loosened it up. Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it.
