What's going on in this egg?

Last night, I candled a day 15 egg that now appears to have fluid in the air sac. My humidity has not changed it is in the low 40's. The chick is still moving today. Has the chick accidently pipped internally early or did the air sac break. Is there anyway to save this chick now that the air sac is compromised. Should I try to pip the air space around day 19- 20 and drain off fluid and reseal the egg to let CO2 build back up to promote the involuntary muscle contractions that cause pipping and zipping, assuming it continues to live that long.

Don't know but good luck with what ever you do.

Thanks the rest of the eggs seem fine. Has anyone had this happen?
