Peeping egg in incu that was off for a day? HELP?

[Lizparat]

Can a egg that was left for “dead” still hatch after incu has been off for 24hrs? My first time hatching my own eggs from my girls and i thought they were all done hatching. I was taking care of the others and just got to cleaning the incu and found a pipped egg with peeping sounds coming out!!! Eeek!! Can i help ing out? Seems like the membrane is dried up

If it's peeping it's still alive, warm it up in the incubator. it will probably need help getting out. it's hard to say if it's ready but here's an awesome article on how to assist.

Thanks Rose! I got her out but read the article after! Hopefully she survives if not it wasn’t meant to be. We did get 5 sweet fluffy little ones!

That little guy is my grandson he is 2.5 and has a 4.5 yr old brother! They are at my house everyday as their parents both work these clicks are from their flock and gramma agreed to incubate them to try our luck! I think we did pretty good for our first try! I will figure out later how to really take advantage of BYC later. Nice to meet you and thanks for your help! God bless you!
