Poke some air holes into the lid and put that on top so he doesn't climb out, and leave him there until his yolk is absorbed.
^This^

The yolk should shrink within the next 48 hours if not you will have to cut it off (ask for advice when if this is the case)

I will also touch on this

This is our first clutch of eggs to hatch and have already lost several to twisted umbilical cords and hard yolks.
In my experience cutting (sometimes too early) and messing with the eggs (checking on them) once cut will lead to tangled umbilicus. Tangles umbilicus are RARE the fact that you experienced this several times being new is not normal.
