If your little one is still attached to the shell, put a little dot of antibiotic cream on the drying out spots. Vaseline will work to keep it moist, but not to fight infection.
And even if this one doesn't make it, don't give up on hatching. These things happen to even the most experienced "chickeneers." The joy and wonder when it all goes well is worth the false starts ... and it all counts towards experience!

True true. Anybody who hatches runs into these types of chicks every year.

When the dust settles, if your hatch wasn’t good, you might do some “eggtopsies” and post the results along with the incubator, temps, humidities, source of eggs, etc. I’m sure that other BYC members could help you figure out how to get the hatch you want, and it sounds like your hatches are improving. Best of luck on your current chick and hatch!

Thank you she's still alive peeping and wiggling her legs a little what I have noticed is she/he hasn't tride to get up just laying on its side kicking now and then it's so stressful to just watch through the window

If she’s still absorbing yolk, then she needs to lay quietly and not kick off that eggshell. Some people place them in a cup with moist clean washcloth at the bottom in the incubator or brooder and still in the attached eggshell. I’ll see if I can find a pic. For myself, if she is laying quietly, I’d cover the windows of the incubator so it’s dark and leave her alone to absorb the yolk.

Did it hatch early or need assistance?

Ok, this should take you to an article on assisting hatches, including yolk sac that has not been absorbed.
