Lively egg turned ...dead???

Hi, (a bit of background)
I recently found a clutch of eggs hidden in the yard (had undergone a few 40°c days and obviously started incubation outside) and brought them into the incubator. I lost a bit from the extreme temperatures however we’re nearing hatch day. yesterday I had a chicken cheeping from the egg (a few days early I believe) and I left it there. It has now been 24 hours and it no longer moves. Even when I try and water candle it. Has it passed away or is it just “storing” it’s energy. I don’t hear anything when I tap on the eggs either. Please let it be “deep” sleeping and not dead!!

I'm thinking it's gone. Has it pipped the shell?

Nope...
I don’t understand why it would have passed either? Humidity and temp was good and it was left to alone to do its own thing

Possibly it couldn't pip the shell..have you tapped on in recently?

Yep been checking every few hours... it doesn’t look healthy when I candle it either. Absolutely devastated

Was it only one that's due? Where is Momma?
