Urgent!! Assisted hatching! Chick is out!

Update: I woke up this morning and there was no movement at all and the membrane had completely dried.
I decided to open it up and the chick is still alive but still underdeveloped. A good portion of yolk sac is still out so I put it back in the incubator with the shell still attached.
Is there anything I can do?

I don’t think there is much you can do at this point. Just hope the chick is able to absorb the remaining yolk.
 
Don't help it out. Did one of your hens lay this egg under the broody a few days after she started setting? Give it at least 24 more hours. I wish you hadn't opened the shell, that will make things difficult.

I’m thinking that’s what happen because I started her in the nesting box then moved her to a separate box. I should have kept better track of the eggs, guess you learn from your mistakes.
