Did it break its yolks internally? I cant actually tell what I'm looking at and dont know what to do at this point.
This is day 22, and this is only egg still not hatched.

Is it still alive?
Can you see any yellow stuff in there somewhere?


See that big red vein across the middle?
Watch it close...see if it gets smaller over the next hour.


Why is the egg like this now?
What's going on?

Day 22 , last egg not hatched, it is a chicken, Svart Hona breed.
about 12 - 18 hours ago it knocked out a chunkof shell about the size of a dime on the pointy end side of egg.
I decided since it hadntporogressed in such a long time to tryu to help it unzip a bit, but when I did a huge chunk just easily popped off going vertical, the membrane was just pure white so I followed this thread : https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/guide-to-assisted-hatching-for-all-poultry.72886/

Ehich suggested putting coconut oil on the membrane, and thats what you see in the photo above.
To me it looks yellow right in the middle of the photo, and reminds me a bit of my last hatch when I had onechick with issues as well.

It was alive as of 30 minutres ago, I have it in the incubator now.

Ive also been working in a room that is 65 - 75% humidity and around 87 degrees. Havent opened the incubator if its not around that.
 
Also, I realized I shouldnt have pulled shell in this direction, but I was nervoius and confused, so I stopped here and am waiting to see what I should do.
 
Its still moving a lot but looks exactly the same.
Do the beak is right there where the hole is?
You don't want that membrane getting stuck to him.

I would slowly pull back some of the membrane around that hole to see if it's head will pop out.
