Cut the shell I presume? Is it bleeding? How is the veining? Has the yoke absorbed?

Picture?

Bleeding abit got small red veins!! This is all new to me!! Yeah I cut the shell because all the others have died due to being shipped eggs so I wanted to see what happened then it moved!!

Moisten it put it back, and get your humidity up. You don't want to do anything else if the veins are not gone it is not ready.
There is a section on assisted hatching which you essentially started on the first page of Sally's Incubating thread. If you go there you can read about what you started unintentionally. Hopefully Banti stops in soon.

so glad you didnt toss it!

keep the membrane moist, you can use vitamin d ointment, or coconut oil, bacitracin
it needs some more time for the veins to recede

Thanks for coming over Liz!

here is the link Daxi told you about

Step by Step Guide to ASSISTED Hatching - Click HERE

give it some time to rest, get humidity up to about 65%, keep temp at about 95*
now that it is open i would say wait a few hours, see if you can find the beak and start there by SLOWLY peeling the membrane, if you see blood STOP!
you can dab with a q tip dipped in corn starch
