Hello 
and Welcome To BYC! Good luck with the hatch! 
Do you have the eggs in lockdown? Make sure your humidity is high 65% or so, and just leave the eggs alone to hatch (don't open the incubator again). (Remember if you have them in a turner, to take them out or turn it off.) There is a great article in the Learning Center on Hatching Eggs you might want to check out https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101 And check out the Incubating and Hatching Eggs forum if you have any questions https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/5/incubating-hatching-eggs

Hi 
Glad you could join the flock! Do you have an incubator? The egg needs to be kept at 99.5f for a fan incubator and 101-102f for still a air incubator and have high humidity at least 65% for it to have a chance of hatching. Too low humidity and the chick could become stuck in the shell.
Here is an article that's very useful for explaining the hatching process https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101
Good luck, I hope your egg hatches for you

Welcome to BYC!
I'm glad you joined our community.
As long as the humidity and temperature are fine, leave the egg alone. Make sure that the turner is off and that the humidity stays at 60-70%. It should hatch well on its own.
