egg not hatching

my next hatching is now about a week overdue. the clutch was laid 2-8-05, one went bad right away, the other has grown substantially and appears to be fine (no mold), but is not hatching. It candles yellow. Should I leave it in the incubator until it molds or hatches? When is it safe to cut it?

sorry,
its Pepper's first clutch to my knowledge but she was a rescue and at least a year or two when I got her.

If you're incubating for female its not overdue at all. I recommend just waiting.

It will take around 60 days plus or minus and candeling may show yellow with tiny itty bitty veins for a while, some not noticable if the egg is dirty from the lay box substrate. I always incubate even pretty darn for sure unfertile eggs until they go bad.

I would not give up on the egg at all! Your not even close to normal hatch time for a for sure fertile egg, just give it more time and see what happens!

ok, but sorry, I left out:
the incubator is set to about 85 deg, and the ones that were laid on feb 2 (diff female) hatched 10 days ago.

Yeah I have an egg from a first time mom that was laid on 1-17. The egg is good and I can see the hatchlings stripes through parts of the egg. It was incubated at 82 degrees and I'm still waiting for it to hatch.
Drives me nuts waiting.
