Help!!! Hairy Egg, but it's at term, and there's a baby inside of it, and I can just Barely see it move!

What do we do?!?

We had to move the incubator last Thursday to my house from Crystal's because she was going out of town, so they've had temperature fluctuations..

Or maybe it's too moist?/

What to do?? We'd rather not resort to cutting it open! It's at 52 days. Help, please!

not sure what to do here. Dusty says the egg is getting hairy, and is starting to smell. But she says she THINKS she see's movement inside, but isnt 100% sure. Im going over there in a little bit. And im going to be bringing the incubator back home.

Im stumped...not sure what to do.
Im assuming that if it cant get out of the egg, something is wrong with it. I just dont know. The temps were perfect up until about 5 days ago. So its had plenty of time to form correctly.

What would YOU do??

I would wait until it hatched or molded over. I hear, and tend to believe, that if you transport and egg, all the rocking and shaking will dislodge the embryo from the top of the egg, hence dying. But I would wait.
