Is it over?

Ok. So today is day 23. All hatched chicks are in brooder and remaining eggs in the incubator.
How do I know when to call it quits? I candled quickly to see and all eggs have air pockets but not seeing any sort of movement or hearing anything. It’s hot and stinky in there lol.
I’d like to clean the bator up but I don’t want to accidentally throw away just a late bloomer.

our last chick to hatch was like 12 hours after the Others hatched and I haven’t seen any new pips since that guy.

thanks!!

If it's stinky, they're probably gonners.

ok. It’s not like death it’s like all the poop and crap from the hatch I thought.
But is that not normal then?

Oh okay. When it happened to me, I could smell the rotting.

Hatching gunk stinks!!
Yes, that's normal

I wait until 48-56 hours after first pip to call it done.
