my egg has been moving in the incubator for around 2 days now but it still has not piped. Is there something I should do?
 
The chick inside the egg is moving or the whole egg is moving?
I have never seen and egg moving around in the incubator unless it was actually hatching.

The entire egg is moving. Rocking back and forth every few seconds.
 
Yes I do. I can’t candle it now though because it is in incubation lockdown.
Yes you can.
That not touching it during lockdown is nonsense.

BUT....there isn't anything you can do at this point except wait.
It will hatch when it is ready.
Candling it now is only for peace of mind so you can see that it is still alive and if it has internally pipped or perhaps externally pipped where you can't see the pip.

The eggs are at day 21 l. They are still moving but they still have not piped. Tomorrow will be day 22.
