Immediate crisis, abandoned egg, please help

Pics
I really worry about her being warm enough. I had a chick act like that after the mother tossed her out of the nest. I brought her in and put her in my incubator. She perked up and started cheeping as soon as she heated up. The air temp around her should be close to 100 degrees while she dries and fluffs.
 
I have never heard my eggs cheeping until they were internally pipped intot the air sac, I do remember some said they can cheep a few days before hatch thought so maybe someone more experienced can answer that
Need air in lungs to peep, so it’s already internally pipped.
 
Pssst...
It is out. Just struggling a but to recover from hatching(assisted).
Got it - just read the whole thread. Rooting for little Cookie!!!:fl I’ve been on multiple BYC hatch-a-longs this summer - one participant was in the same situation with an egg abandoned by a broody. Egg hatched on a heating pad and chick did well in the end. Come on Cookie!!!
 
We have faint peeping, and some wiggles.
is cookie warm enough without other chicks to snuggle with? has mom heard her? I would recommend dusk if your going to try to put her under mom, still early enough if you need to take her away and put in the brooder.
