How did things go with the rest of the clutch?
Sorry to hear about the one that died in the egg, there are several things that can cause that. If there weren't any obvious (visual) defects I suspect too low incubating temperature. However, genetic flaws are a possibility.
Personally, I believe that 88.5 F is waaaayy too low. A few temperature drops and it's over.
Best wishes!
