70-73%

An hour is normal… id just let it be

Perfect!
best keep the incubator closed at this stage.
you’re doing everything right from the looks of it!

If you saw brown liquid coming out, it could have pecked its yolk sac and it's leaking.

You probably need to do an assist on this egg. Just to make sure it's not going to drown. Pull half the eggshell off and leave it in the incubator to finish drying.

That's on the high end for what I keep mine at during hatching.

I helped it out, there was some shell really stuck over its back so I just put it back in with that hoping it will dry/ come off on it’s own now.

Do you think this happened from the hatched chicks rolling the eggs all around?

This does not look right to me…

The membrane dried to the down. And it was in the egg so long it crapped. It happens, usually with waterfowl IMO, not chicks. Looks like it might not have completely closed the naval yet.

Yes.

Make sure you let it rest in incubator till its fully dry. By that time the ruptured yolks sac would have shrunk and the navel have closed.
