I am needing someone with excellent experience to provide me with the best solution for my problem.. and quickly! 
I will try to give you the main details. I am NOT experienced at all in this. I rescued a goose egg from a nest where it had been sat on for about 4 days (since 3-17). The nest was destroyed and abandoned. I put the egg in a still air incubator on 3-21. The egg was clear inside. I read online on several websites what humidity and what temp to set it at. 55-60% humidity and 99.5% temp. Although the temp dropped a couple degrees off and on. I did that for the first 20 days along with daily cooling, spraying, and turning. Then I was told my air cell was too small so I dropped the humidity to 34-40% and extended cooling time. That did not help. I took a video of me candeling day 26 and was told that it looked underdeveloped. I have not been able to get help after that. As of yesterday I have stopped turning or cooling. Still spraying. Raised temp to 100 and humidity is the same. I candled it last night and there is movement but not alot. Still not a big aircell. So the questions I so desperatly need answered is the following:
1. if it is underdeveloped because my temp was too low possibly at times, does that mean that I extend out the days PAST the 27th day and continue the same process. Then maybe start the hatching process around day 29-30?
2. If there is a small air cell is it possible at all for the baby to internally pip?
3. Do I continue turning, spraying, and cooling now? Day 28?
4. Please can someone tell me what to do now (day 28) thru the last day? And when is the last day?
5. If it is still alive on the last day.. can I try to save it somehow?
I am afraid my baby bird is dying right in front of me and I have no experience on how to save it. Please can someone respond? I will include the picts I took three days ago (nothing has changed in the air cell since) and here is the video http://youtu.be/15e6fA13P1o. (hope you can see it).
Thank you.
