Did a quick candling and pulled some quitters and 1 clear in a dark Maran egg. 41 going strong. And thank you for the suggestion of insulation! Temps are staying at 99.7 to 99.9.

It's been a good minute since I last incubated eggs.

If they are most likely duds, do you remove them by day 10? or keep them as long as they don't smell?

For some I know they aren't developing but I just want to make extra sure since they are olive eggs.

Do exploding eggs smell before they explode? None smell, I just don't want any to explode

Yes, eggs will usually smell pretty bad before exploding. You can also watch for any weird oozing that could signify bacteria.

Thank you! Phew! None smell, and I haven't seen any oozing, but I will keep an extra eye nevertheless!
