I'm probably crazy but I'm going to try hatching a egg with my body heat. Hatch-Along

From what I can see its still moving and with the lower body temp it probably a day behind.
An egg can't be "a day behind" if the temperature was not ideal - or close to it- for a long period of time. It is actually very likely dead, if the temperature wasn't ideal for a long period of time.
Incubating requires specific temperature, humidity, turning, etc. I have to admit that doing this "experiment", after personally looking at multiple threads where people tried this, I think, is a bad idea. The chicks just keep dying. The only person I know who actually hatched the chick is "A Chick Called Albert", who is a professional when it comes to handling and saving wildlife.
 
^^agreed. I watched the Chick Called Albert video and I’m actually kind of surprised he didn’t include some kind of disclaimer about not trying it yourself. I have also never seen this successfully done on BYC, but lots of attempts that end with embryos that develop half or even three quarters of the way, then die.
