    Contaminated distilled water and now egg smells bad

    Update: I candled them and yep, rotten eggs! 2 of them was literally pitch black, and had black chunks. It was very gross to see. 3 out of the 14 eggs have veins. I really hope they make it all the way to hatching. Thanks everyone!

    Question about turning eggs

    Hello, thank you for your comment! I’ve replied in a previous comment but I have decided to remove the turner like you and others have recommended. It seems to be the best option until I remove unviable eggs.
