Help!!

I candled my chicken eggs on day 23, and I see a chick, but there is no movement or peeping!! What should I do????

Candle again and mark the line of the air sac so you know where the chick is and where the air sac (clear space) is. Carefully make a little hole in the shell on the fat end, right at the tip, just big enough to allow you to see into the egg. Take a Q-tip, wet it with clean water and carefully wet the membrane. Check for movement from the chick. If it moves put the egg back in the incubator, crank up the humidity and read this:

I messed up on my first try but I opened it all the way and saw this?? Could it have survived its day 23?? I have plenty other eggs that look just like this in the incubator still

Ehh, was the chick still alive? I should've asked earlier: what was your incubation temperature?

No the chick was dead, and my temps were 99.5 solid, I had one chick hatch on day 21 and he's healthy and already with the other chicks I bought. These eggs just haven't shown any signs of life. Do you think the ones still in the bator will hatch??
PS the shells are really thick I had trouble cracking that shell
